With over 317 million people in the US and over 6.7 billion potential customers in the world, personalizing training seems logical.

Meta Says It Reduced Quest Pro Controllers Startup Time

Upload VR

Meta claims update v50 reduces the time Touch Pro controllers take to synchronize their tracking with the headset. The Touch Pro controllers track themselves via three cameras and a relatively powerful onboard chipset. This means tracking works at any angle regardless of where the headset is facing, but there is a major downside. Since their tracking is completely independent of the headset, when you pick them up it takes a few seconds for their coordinate space to be synchronized to the headset
