I will definitely keep an eye on Pico 5, because it seems a very interesting device. Yes, it is less than the 5% of Unreal, but until yesterday we only paid per seat, not both per seat and per revenue sharing. Some developers I know are already switching to Godot or Unreal because they say that Unity can’t be trusted anymore.

At a glance, this headset certainly seems a lot “clunkier” and bulkier than some of the other leading headsets we’ve seen lately, like the Apple Vision Pro. Siemens even announced earlier this year that this software will deliver a brand-new Unreal Engine-based solution.

It is more refined than the original Vive, but it has not that Apple-like approach that has the Rift. The moment when I tried the Vive Pro has not been one of this wow moments. It has just been an “ok, good” moment. The device appears better manufactured than the original Vive and I also like its blue color: black was too sad.

Unity is a part of so much software development work (it’s even said to be a part of the upcoming Apple Vision Pro VR/AR headset !), so there will definitely be ripple effects. Sansar’s in-house engine looks pretty good right now, eh?
