Pico4 VR - Zoo Home

Pico4 Virtual Reality

Create an augmented reality Zoo, Ocean, and Jungle in your home with over 160 creatures and over 70 plants with experimental hand tracking.

- Passthrough enabled to see animals in your actual surroundings in augmented reality.

***
need to verify obb sideload instructions; v 348 is normal apk and does not use obb and verified to work

- Bonus experimental hand tracking enabled on a couple scenes to use with animals and plants (still in experimental stage, August 25th updated to work with latest headset updates, supposedly handtracking is stable now for future headset updates (5.7.0+)) - note need to test this build v 410 and 418 with obb to verify it works and to verify how to install with obb (should work, just not tested yet … needed to break into obb due to itch file size limit)

- - v418 version with all fish enabled and fixed grabbing one object at once 

-- v 4232 fixed hand tracking grab for smooth interactions

***

- Animals and plants are placeable and moveable with random spawn options and deletion options.

- There are various premade levels with random and set object spawns, including levels with toy sized animals and a bonus level to feed sharks. 

- Animals include: dinosaurs, sharks, turtles, whales, zebras, bears, lions, tigers, lionfish, birds, sunfish, otter, penguin, moorish, leopards, cuttlefish, elephants, rhinos, hippos, deer, cows, dolphins, clown fish, crocodiles, starfish, mountain goats, dogs, cats, horses, squid, discus, carp, trout, foxes, octopus, marlin, tigers, zoo animals, common and exotic fish, and many more!

- Game verified to work on Pico4 and Pico3

- 8/25/23 update v410, testing needed to verify sideloading apk with obb works - added new shark feeding level, added experimental levels with the ability to duplicate animals and enlarge animals, updated handtrack experimentally for latest headset versions, other minor improvements.

note- had to rebuild handtracking after recent updates to pico, more to come
