Soulart launches Station VR base station for full-body tracking

According to IT之家, Soulart has announced Station, a VR base station for full-body tracking that uses an on-device NPU for motion recognition, with a unit price under $400. The single station covers up to 50 square meters and supports up to 120 Hz tracking, but the product is still in its early stage and price and tracking performance require further validation; purchasing multiple units may improve tracking, though at higher cost. Soulart is also developing standalone support for Steam Frame on the X platform, which could enable full-body tracking without a PC in a headset-all-in-one setup.
