What type of tracking does the Pico Neo 3 Enterprise/Pro (Eye) use?

The Pico Neo 3 uses tracking technologies designed to ensure precise movements and smooth operation in virtual reality, without the need for external hardware.

1. Headset and controller motion tracking

The Pico Neo 3 uses inside-out tracking with 6 degrees of freedom (6DoF).

In practical terms, this means that:

• The headset incorporates several outward-facing tracking cameras.
• These cameras analyze the environment to track head movements in real time.
• The controllers are also tracked in space without external sensors.

This system allows you to move freely, lean, turn your head, and interact naturally with VR content.

2. Advantages of inside-out tracking

Inside-out tracking has several advantages for professional use:

• No installation of external sensors or beacons.
• Quick setup, even in temporary environments.
• Great flexibility for training, demonstrations, or multi-site travel.

This type of tracking is identical on the Pro and Enterprise versions.

3. Specific features of the Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye

In addition to standard 6DoF tracking, the Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye includes eye tracking.

Eye tracking allows you to:

• Analyze the user’s gaze.
• Improve performance optimization via foveal rendering.
• Leverage gaze data in professional or research applications.

Eye tracking is a feature exclusive to the Pro Eye version and does not replace the motion tracking of the headsets and controllers.

The Pico Neo 3 uses inside-out 6DoF tracking, ensuring accurate tracking of the headsets and controllers without external sensors. The Pro Eye version adds eye tracking, offering advanced possibilities for professional and analytical uses.
