LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pivo Inc. of 3i Inc., a metaverse technology company that develops products utilizing artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), and virtual reality (VR), announced that it has been named a Best of Innovation Award Honoree at CES 2022. The announcement was made on January 3rd in the media event, which precedes the Consumer Electronics Show 2022 (CES 2022), the world's largest consumer electronics exhibition show.
Pivo Pod X, Pivo’s award winning product, is the new addition to the company’s robust lineup of auto-tracking smart pods that enhance the capabilities of your smartphone.

Thanks to Pivo's proprietary Face, Body, Object and Animal Tracking, creators are no longer limited to stagnant content, even when creating alone. The product is set to be released in the second quarter of 2022.
“We will continue to work hard and market our products, in order to establish ourselves as a staple brand in the creator economy,” said CEO and founder of Pivo, Ken Kim. He added, “Pivo Pod X, which will officially be released soon, is the first step to securing our spot in a rapidly growing market.”
