A new virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) hobby, "Vivarium," is set to release on the PICO Store, compatible with the new PICO 4 Ultra device. Developed by StudioX at DoubleMe, Vivarium is a simulation game that allows players to create unique ecosystems, raise virtual pets, and grow plants in an immersive and engaging setting.

Vivarium offers a variety of features, including the ability to design and create different ecosystems, care for plants and pets, display and share creations, immerse in nature, challenge oneself, and collect all plants and animals. Players can use virtual glass tanks to simulate various environments, such as forests, deserts, and grasslands, and populate them with diverse pets like amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals.

The game encourages players to interact with their pets, water their plants, and manage other elements to maintain a harmonious environment. They can also expand their vivarium in their room in mixed reality to feel like they are inside of it, observing their pets and plants up close.

Vivarium offers several social features, such as the ability to set created vivariums in a virtual lobby gallery or in a room in mixed reality to appreciate their beauty and share them with others to exchange ideas for future designs.

Players can register to join the upcoming Vivarium Beta Test in September on the game's website. The game promises to be a unique and enjoyable experience for VR and MR gamers, offering a new way to connect with nature from the comfort of their own homes.
