In the Shared Space where rendering is controlled by Apple it mostly just works, though very occasionally you’ll see minor visual artifacts in the periphery. And Apple did not send UploadVR a review unit, we bought our own.

This week has been pretty crazy: It all started with Facebook approving my silly The Unity Cube application (an application with just a cube) on App Lab. With the Pico Neo 2, I’ve noticed that Pico at the moment is taking inspiration from the best designs of the Quest, and it is continuing this trend with the Neo 3.
