According to reports, the so-called streaming is to project the game on the computer to other devices to achieve the effect of remote gaming on the device. Users can use software to break the limitations of game platforms, relying on the powerful data transmission capabilities of high-speed networks to play any game on multiple platforms.

VR equipment manufacturer PICO was established in March 2015 and merged into Bytedance in September 2021. PICO’s latest all-in-one machine, PICO 4 Pro, has been officially launched a few days ago, with prices starting at 3,799 CNY. PICO 4 Pro can realize functions such as intelligent stepless interpupillary distance adjustment, real-life expression simulation, gaze interaction and gaze tracking rendering. In addition, this product is equipped with a larger storage space and a larger battery capacity than the PICO 4 that was launched last year.

Several users have reported that they have received a recall message from PICO’s official flagship shop, suggesting that they can send back a replacement carrying case, stating that the original case may put the console at risk of wear and tear or scratches.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause you.

The person in charge of PICO today responded that the PICO 4 Carrying Case was found to have the potential to cause cosmetic problems with the main unit. In order to better protect the rights of our customers, we have decided to urgently optimize the design of the case and step up the production of the new PICO 4 case to reduce the risk of this occurrence. It is expected that the new packs will be updated and the replacement process for the user-side packs will begin by October 21 this year.

The PICO 4 is equipped with a 4K+ ultra-visual display with a PPI (pixel density) of 1200 and a refresh rate of 90Hz and is available in two storage variants: 128GB and 256GB. Officially, it offers around three hours of use on a single charge and, as with previous Pico headsets, the battery is built into the back strap for balance.

The PICO 4 exterior is described as a clashing color scheme of black mirror and off-white body. In terms of hardware, the PICO 4 series features the innovative Pancake folding light path design and weighs only 295g without the strap and battery; it has a balanced front and rear design solution with skin-friendly face foam.

From the official poster can be seen, the new appearance will be more design sense, streamline shape also makes it full of technology. In fact, since the beginning of August this year, the news about PICO’s new products has been frequently exposed, including product design line drawings, handle spy photos, parameters and configuration. Although the information has not been officially confirmed, it does make the outside world full of expectations for this product.

According to previous media reports, PICO 4 will be equipped with the industry-leading Pancake optical solution, compared to the traditional Fresnel lens, it can significantly reduce the size of the headset, and significantly enhance the user’s wearing comfort. At the same time, PICO 4 also has a significant improvement in clarity, the field of view to determine the width of the field of view is 105 °, which can bring users a more immersive VR experience.

In addition, to previous media reports, PICO 4 will focus on the VR sports and fitness scene and may be launched with the new “sports ring” and other related accessories.

PICO’s new product global launch and domestic launch is scheduled, you can clearly see the brand’s global market strategy. On the two launches of new products, and content applications, prices and other differences can only wait for the launch to reveal the answer.

Already, PICO XR is adding some new games to its library ahead of the launch of its new VR gaming headset.

As we know, PICO XR currently went through some changes in its user experience as it braces itself for a broader field in virtual reality. Some changes the company made were with its logo design and font style across its platform. These changes give us a visual picture of the type of brand PICO XR is aspiring to become.

But, PICO isn’t the only VR gaming device manufacturing company preparing to launch a new device. Meta Oculus and PlayStation are already individually underway with their new VR gaming headsets. According to reports, the coming headset from Meta will launch after that from PICO, while PlayStation will follow through sometime next year.

The competition in the VR gaming industry is tightening as more manufacturers set into the field. Customers also get the freedom of choice when out there shopping for the right device to help them step into the world of virtual reality. We are eager to see what PICO has in store for the global market and how it will have an impact on the virtual reality gaming community.

Pico’s new headset will also reportedly feature an inside-out RGB camera for mixed reality (MR) experience. This is similar to Meta’s Project Cambria headset, which will be officially unveiled in October.

Foreign media reports say that Bytebox has clearly positioned Pico 4 as a VR hardware competitor to Meta, and has worked hard in recent months to reposition Pico from a company primarily focused on enterprise VR to a mass-market consumer hardware maker.

According to the official statement from the company, they are now on a journey to infinity. PICO expresses its optimism to “break the limitations of objective reality” ushering its users into a world of possibilities. This is a bold step from the company, these changes might help pull more people into the VR community.

The VR company’s new font uses the square frame structure of Fangzheng which the company calls PICO Sans. This font type is ideal for the optimal VR experience, it can as well be in use on high-definition screens, and for printing. As for the logotype, the new change makes all the letters in the company’s name bold and thicker than the previous logo.

PICO has come a long way in the VR space since its inception till date, but, they still have a long way to go. The competition in the VR space is intensifying as more companies are out to take a share of what the industry has to offer. This change on PICO’s part shows that they are not rigid, but are willing to adapt to better fit into the VR community.

PICO will launch a new brand LOGO, the new LOGO curvature and line thickness optimization process, and the English characters are also upgraded to all capitalization.

In addition, PICO has also joined hands with the Founder font to customize a new font, PICO Sans, which is the first font designed for VR system applications.

Officially, it inherits the interlinear structure of Founder’s Yohei and incorporates the traditional writing style, which is both humanistic and modern. It is worth mentioning that PICO Sans is also the first custom font with variable weight and width in two dimensions, and the stepless variation of font thickness and width makes it comfortable and clear to read under VR devices, HD screens and printing scenes.

PICO was born in 2015. 2021 In September, PICO was officially merged into Byte Jump and formed the Byte XR business line based on the original business.

As an industry press, we have used numerous VR grips, and they have similar drawbacks while having much the same shape – extremely tool-like in appearance and use, and prone to collision during intense movement. In contrast, with the leaked spy photos, we can make simple predictions about it based on past experience: 1.

1. compared to its predecessor handle should be lighter, smooth lines arc column is beautiful, and a stronger sense of design.
2. more ergonomic track design, with a high degree of integration with the limb, the use may be more natural.
3. A larger tracking ring will make the interaction more accurate but also prevent collisions between the handles, and the new handle is also likely to join the finger detection function.

Of course, because there is still too little leaked information, the outside world is not yet able to make more predictions. But on the existing information and past news, the new Pico headset and handle should be adapted for the new ecological content, as well as more accurate spatial positioning.

In Sina VR’s view, Pico’s layout after the merger into ByteBeat has far exceeded the imagination of the outside world, and its pattern and efficiency are several positions ahead of its friends if combined with the Pico4 found in the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents, and the Pico4 Pro version with facial and eye tracking headset traces, plus the PicoVR eye tracking patent exposed last Friday. It’s not hard for us to make a prediction: Pico is about to launch a new product on a global scale. As the industry media, we are as excited about it as you are in front of the screen!

Pico’s overseas layout moves significantly

As reported by Sina.com in March, Pico announced that it has set up a distribution division in North America, Pico Studios, which is dedicated to cooperating extensively with excellent VR developers around the world and introducing quality VR games and applications for its 6DoF platform. According to our understanding, this is the first time that Pico’s overseas distribution division, Pico Studios, has gone from behind the scenes to the front stage, and its main direction is clearly in the content field.

Three months later, foreign media began to report about the Pico Studios team being formed on the west coast of the U.S. by Bytespring, as well as predictions that it would sell C-tier hardware within the U.S. At the same time, Pico’s hiring information in the U.S. was made public as follows.

1. more than 40 positions are available in the Bay Area, Seattle and San Diego.
2. most positions are related to the Pico Studios division, with specific positions including head of the organization, head of VR game strategy, head of overseas content ecology, and manager of organization operations.
3. some technical talent is needed to fill some of the VR software and hardware development positions.
4. The job description of Pico’s consumer sales director clearly states: “Responsible for the sales and marketing of Pico’s overall products in the U.S. consumer market”.

In addition, Pico’s actions in Europe should not be underestimated. From the past news, Pico not only launched its latest headset product Pico Neo 3 Link (priced at 450 euros, equivalent to about 3,175 yuan) in May this year, but also officially announced in the official tweet: “We have entered the European VR headset consumer market.”

The Pico that started the globalization campaign

This means that Pico already has the largest number of VR all-in-one users in China. At the same time, Pico’s parent company, Byte Jump, originally planned to set the headset sales volume at 1 million units in 2022, and then raised it to 1.8 million units.

Also in 2021, Pico was merged into ByteDance for billions of RMB, and the deal was by far the largest acquisition in China’s VR industry. After gaining richer capital and a broad platform, Pico also extended its gaze to overseas. Along with the company’s deep plowing in the VR field, both domestic and overseas will become Pico’s stage, and what the majority of users buy may not only be the headset, but also the “early bird ticket” to the next generation of the Internet.

As an industry media, we have no doubt about it.
