Key Features of OS 5.13.0 Update
Panoramic Screen Workspace Optimization
The panoramic screen workspace now offers greater flexibility, allowing users to adjust the distance and position of windowed applications. This enhancement enables a customizable virtual workspace, improving multitasking for work, entertainment, and creative projects.
Photo Gallery Enhancements
The photo gallery now features 2D-to-spatial photo conversion with batch support and compatibility with iPhone 16 spatial photos. Enhanced with multi-frame noise reduction, the update delivers high-quality images for an improved visual experience.
Expanded Developer Options
OS 5.13.0 adds new performance debugging tools in developer options, enabling fine-tuning of XR applications. These tools help creators optimize performance for better VR content.
Motion Tracker Improvements
Motion tracking has been enhanced with an updated algorithm that improves stability when users are sitting or lying down. The update also increases the frequency of full-body motion capture data, resulting in more accurate, fluid representation of complex movements — especially in relaxed postures.
Innovative Interaction Methods
A new gesture-only mode enables a controller-free experience for greater immersion. The control center now features an interaction module that helps resolve gesture conflicts, ensuring smoother operation.
AI Virtual Scene Updates
Two new AI-generated virtual scenes are now available for a limited time, offering immersive environments for exploration, socializing, and relaxation.
Additional Optimizations
OS 5.13.0 brings enhanced low-light image quality, frame interpolation for smoother playback, and virtual viewing scenes for a theater-like experience. With this update, PICO strengthens its commitment to advancing VR, offering a more immersive and efficient experience for PICO 4 Ultra and PICO 4 users. PICO encourages all users to update their headsets to enjoy these new features.
