What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
A novel hardware-distributed spatial approach with a Red Dot award and credible pro reviews, but it is a closed €1,299 wired studio appliance with no API, no published measurements, and no consumer path — a useful reference point, not an adoptable building block.
Next
Monitor for a head-tracking firmware update and any third-party objective measurements (localization error, latency); reassess if a consumer or SDK tier appears.
