In a recent Q&A on Instagram, Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth was asked if Meta was working on motion trackers for Meta Quest. He denied it, saying that Pico would have to be successful with its devices before Meta would consider a similar product.
Here is his full answer:
"No. Those Pico trackers seem cool, and I think it's fun that they're doing that. I haven't had a chance to play with any of the new stuff out of there, but it's great to see people continuing to push and innovate and try different things.
I think there's just not that many use cases where people need that high of a degree of precision on extremities. It's not zero, if you're a dance enthusiast in VRChat and you want to show off those moves, it's great. I'm glad people have a chance to do that, and they have a path for that.
But for getting these things to be mainstream where we make this something that way more people use, I'm not sure that the juice is worth the squeeze. And I don't mean that from a business standpoint, I mean even for the consumer in terms of what they get out of it. I hope it goes so well for them, and they prove me wrong, and then we'll have to do it."
