Takeaways on SB-1012, the Latest Bill Aiming to Regulate Psychedelics in California The quick take-away on California’s Senator Scott Weiner bill SB 1012’s passing out of the Business and Professions Committee is that we have proposed legislation that creates ⚫ a new licensing Board, called the Board of Psychedelic Facilitators under the Department of Consumer Affairs, “which will license and regulate professional ⚫ facilitators trained in psychedelic-assisted therapy” for people older than 21 ⚫ use will be required to be supervised — presumably in clinical spaces, yet to be elaborated ⚫ covers the substances psilocybin/psilocyn (mushrooms), 🔹 Dimethyltryptamine (“DMT,” the active ingredient in ayahuasca), 🔹 MDMA, and 🔹 mescaline (other than peyote) ⚫ substances will be required to be tested by a licensed entity ⚫ facilitators will be required to possess an existing professional health license, such as psychiatrists, licensed clinical social workers, drug & alcohol counselors, and nurse practitioners ⚫ sponsored by the Heroic Hearts Project, Law Enforcement Action Partnership (LEAP), and VETS, Veterans Exploring Treatment Solutions, Inc This development reflects momentum for increased access for psychedelics without creating a suddenly open market. Oregon just RE-criminalized psychedelics along with other drugs, after the 2020 ballot initiative Ballot Measure 110 was reversed by Oregon’s House Bill 4002, which goes into effect in September 2024, making it about 3.5 years that Oregon’s experiment will have lasted. Noteworthy on SB-1012: ⚫ No, ketamine is not on the list ⚫ What will be considered appropriate training for facilitators has yet to be defined and apparently that will be handled by the Regulated Psychedelic Substances Advisory Committee We’re still examining the details at Enthereal of the proposed legislations, and we’ll have more analysis as we progressively break it down.

Oculus brought XR to the mainstream. Will this headset 1. Get XR to mass adoption? 2. Bring XR further into enterprise use cases (i.e. related to Anduril Industries, Luckey's new company)? 3. Be a huge flop? What do you think? #virtualreality #xr #augmentedreality

Highlighting: "Pico is launching an on-device video editing app that supports editing 3D spatial videos and publishing them to TikTok." ----- UploadVR: "Pico 4 Ultra Launches In China With Specs Superior To Quest 3 "ByteDance officially announced and opened preorders for its new headset, Pico 4 Ultra, in China. Pico 4 Ultra is a refresh of Pico 4 with upgraded chipset, RAM, passthrough cameras, sensor suite, battery, Wi-Fi, and controllers. The lenses, displays, and overall design of Pico 4 Ultra remain almost identical to the original. (specs table here) Pico 4 Ultra uses the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset as Meta Quest 3. But whereas Quest 3 pairs it with 8GB of RAM, Pico 4 Ultra has 12GB. This could make it superior for on-device multitasking, and potentially allow game developers to use higher-resolution textures and more details. The monocular passthrough camera of the original Pico 4 has been replaced with two 32-megapixel cameras which the company says are used to deliver perspective-correct passthrough with low distortion. Passthrough only samples the cameras at 8 megapixels though. The system combines each block of four pixels into one, a technique known as pixel binning which is used by many modern smartphones. ByteDance claims the angular resolution of Pico 4 Ultra's passthrough is 20.6 pixels per degree (PPD), compared to the 18 PPD Meta claims for Quest 3's passthrough. The color cameras are also used for 3D video capture, up to 2048×1536 at 60 FPS. Additionally, ByteDance says Pico 4 Ultra can natively decode Apple spatial videos captured by iPhones and Vision Pro. Between the two color cameras is what Pico describes as a time-of-flight sensor which is used for 3D environment meshing, similar to the purpose of Quest 3's depth projector. Pico 4 Ultra is the first headset to support the new Wi-Fi 7 standard, which could enable more stable PC VR streaming for those who have a Wi-Fi 7 router. Finally, on the hardware side, Pico 4's distinctive arc controllers have been replaced with new ringless controllers that weigh only half as much. The default rendering resolution for immersive apps has been increased to 1920×1920, up from around 1500×1500 on the original Pico 4. And as with Apple's visionOS and now Meta's Horizon OS, Pico OS will soon let you freely position windows in space. These can be browser windows, system panels, or Android apps. ByteDance is launching its own 2D Android app store on Pico, in China at least, which will include some of the country's most popular apps. This will include Douyin (TikTok) and iQIYI, China's equivalent of Netflix. In China Pico 4 Ultra is available to preorder for ¥4300, which equates to around $600. Shipping is set to begin on September 2. ByteDance hasn't yet announced which other countries the headset will launch in, though it was recently certified by a South Korean regulator."
