"Apple's Vision Pro: Revolutionizing Mental Health Treatment and Detection"

Apple reportedly cut full body tracking from its Vision Pro headset several years ago due to reliability issues. The feature could have been used for health and fitness purposes, such as detecting Parkinson's disease. In contrast, Meta plans to add inside-out upper body tracking to its Quest 3 headset in a software update, although it won't track the legs. It remains unclear if Apple is still working on body tracking or has abandoned it for future hardware.

HTC Unveils Base Station-Free Self-Tracking VR Accessories.

HTC has announced a new Vive Tracker accessory that uses inside-out tracking, eliminating the need for external beacons. The device can be attached to props or the user's body for enhanced body tracking. Up to five trackers can be used at once, and the device will support standalone Vive headsets, PC VR, and a fully self-contained mode. The release date is set for Q3 2023, and developers can register their interest. HTC recommends existing SteamVR Tracking users stick with the Vive Tracker 3.0 for precision and compatibility.
