Love seeing this! A real need for enterprise and demo setups on WebXR. Thanks for building and sharing it with the community 🛠️

Robots do not become autonomous in a vacuum. They have to be shown what to do first.

As Physical AI accelerates, post-training with ground-truth robot data becomes essential. High-quality teleoperation data is now treated as an indispensable, high-value asset for post-training and fine-tuning robot foundation models.

For that data collection process to scale, teleoperation interfaces need to feel natural, responsive, and precise, giving human operators an intuitive way to see, move, control, and teach robotic systems in real time.

That is the idea behind XRoboToolkit, PICO's cross-platform XR robotic teleoperation framework. Built on the OpenXR standard, this teleoperation tool is now open to developers and research institutions.

XRoboToolkit supports:

✦ Low-latency stereoscopic video streaming from robot vision to PICO 4 Ultra, achieving sub-100 ms end-to-end latency
✦ Multimodal tracking, including head, controller, hand, full-body, and external trackers
✦ Modular Python/C++ robot-side APIs
✦ Integration with physical robots and simulators such as MuJoCo and Isaac
✦ Support for robotic arms, mobile bases, and dexterous hands
✦ High-quality demonstration data collection for model training and fine-tuning

In practice, XRoboToolkit has already been applied to dual-arm carpet folding, precision UR5 manipulation, simulated dexterous hand tasks, and groundbreaking humanoid robot control demos (a couple examples of which you can see here 👉 as SONIC (https://t.co/mIKvZaU1Sq) and here 👉 as TWIST2 (https://t.co/DlzS2k7xyW). Our technical paper received the Best Paper award from IEEE SII 2026.

This will allow us to control robots remotely while making the collection of indispensable post-training data more practical, scalable, and accessible for developers working at the intersection of XR, robotics, and embodied AI.

For Unity 6.0+, you can combine this with a Unity MCP Server, so TRAE agents can call Unity Editor tooling during task execution, unlocking a more agentic, automation-friendly way to build XR.

[PICO Developer @PICOXR_Dev]

3/
With TRAE Editor for Unity, you can invoke TRAE from within Unity, generate or modify Unity C# with AI, then return to Unity quickly to run and preview results.
Describe what you want to build in chat, and TRAE helps with the code: scene setup, component configuration, Transform updates, interaction logic, and other XR development tasks.

[PICO Developer @PICOXR_Dev]

2/
If you've built XR in Unity, you know the workflow friction:
jumping between the Unity Editor, a script IDE, and debugging tools.
TRAE Editor for Unity is about making that whole loop smoother without breaking focus.

[PICO Developer @PICOXR_Dev]

We're collaborating with @Trae_ai to streamline XR development in Unity. TRAE Editor for Unity brings AI coding capabilities directly into the Unity. Write, generate, and modify C# without leaving your project.

PICO track at XRCC 2026 is open for registration.

Build with the Spatial SDK, WebSpatial, or the PICO Emulator — no headset required to start.

No category restrictions. Just ship something new on PICO OS 6.

Free to join → https://t.co/S79NWyGjZr

[WebSpatial @WebspatialXR]

We’re inviting the WebSpatial community to XRCC 2026 (XR Creator Con): a global AI+XR hackathon where you go from idea to functional prototype in 3 weeks, with free live lectures and support from industry mentors.

Don’t miss it! If you’ve been building on WebSpatial for PICO OS 6, or curious about the Spatial SDK or Emulator, this is a solid opportunity to put them to work.
No restrictions on what you build — the point is exploration.

The PICO Track: Build for PICO OS 6 using WebSpatial, Spatial SDKs, and/or OpenXR.

Over $20K in prizes
Let your creativity run free, meet new teammates, build something you’ve always dreamt of, and get the chance to come to Berlin for the finals!

Spatial apps aren't just 3D versions of your Android app — but getting there doesn't have to mean starting over.

PICO Spatial SDK gives you a Kotlin-based path from familiar 2D layouts to fully spatial experiences.

♦︎ Declarative UI framework with composable 3D components
♦︎ Hand tracking, gaze-and-pinch, physics & spatial audio built in
♦︎ Full toolchain: Spatial Plugin, Editor, and Emulator in Android Studio

[PICO Developer @PICOXR_Dev]

Every spatial app in PICO OS 6 shares one rendering foundation — not because it's convenient, but because multi-app spatial computing can't work any other way.

PICO Spatial Engine is that foundation.
♦︎ OS-level unified rendering: no duplicated resources, foveated rendering by default
♦︎ ECS architecture: high performance, built for scale
♦︎ Open to Kotlin, game engines, web, and custom APIs

Building spatial apps means designing for a space, not a screen.

PICO OS 6 gives you a full UI/UX system built around how humans actually see and interact in XR.
♦︎ Visual field layout & depth management
♦︎ Planar Windows vs Volumetric Windows
♦︎ Dynamic Scaling, multimodal input & the full interaction event model

Spatial computing shouldn’t be "full-screen" only. ⛓️
PICO OS 6 is the "Conductor" letting your Android apps, WebSpatial sites, & games coexist in one space.
♦︎ Full and Shared Space
♦︎ Native, Web, & game engine SDKs
♦︎ PICO Emulator

Spatial interaction in PICO OS 6 isn't just "pointing and clicking in 3D."
We unified eye gaze, hand gestures, and controller input under one input paradigm — so you write the interaction logic once, not three times.
