Pico 4 Enterprise enters the fight to be the best VR viewer | Digital Trends Spanish


The Pico 4 Enterprise is an upgraded version of the Pico 4 VR headset, providing a challenge for quest-pro focused on Meta’s work, even surpassing him in terms of screen resolution.

The Pico 4 Enterprise benefits from the same slim and balanced design as the Pico 4, both using pancake lenses at the front with a curved battery positioned at the rear. Meta’s Quest Pro also chose slim lenses and a rear battery, cementing this as a new standard for future VR headsets.

The Pico 4 Enterprise features a 2160 x 2160 screen resolution per eye that refreshes at 90Hz, and it has a good 105-degree field of view. That means the Pico 4 Enterprise’s screen has more pixels than the Quest Pro. However, with VR headsets aimed at the office, it can be difficult to confirm visual clarity based on these specs, and hands-on reviews are needed to help with difficult purchase decisions.

Pico also added eye and face tracking, along with a color pass-through camera. Whether Pico 4 Enterprise or Meta Quest Pro has the best implementation of these features remains to be seen. However, Pico made it clear in a report before the official announcement that the Pico 4 Enterprise is not designed for mixed or augmented reality use, and that manual tracking is not yet available.

Those features should be possible in the future, but this device is intended to be a VR headset for commercial use. That sets it apart from the Quest Pro.

Pico will not require developers to create new applications, as Pico 4 Enterprise is compatible with any application or game that works with Pico 3 and Pico 3 Pro.

Like the Quest Pro, battery life is expected to be around two hours, but the headphones can be used while plugged in. The Pico 4 Enterprise is powered by the aging but surprisingly powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2, the same chip used by the Pico 3 and 4, but should perform slightly better than these consumer VR headsets, coming with 8GB more LPDDR5 memory. quick, an upgrade over the Pico 4’s LPDDR4 RAM.

While Meta is eager for businesses and individuals to order the Quest Pro, the Pico 4 Enterprise is designed specifically for larger organizations. For example, Pico offers device management software to prepare numerous headsets for use by employees and can create custom app stores that include business apps and other select apps to create a work-focused business headset.

Pre-orders start November 1, 2022, but US pricing and availability are uncertain at this time. The work-focused Pico 4 Enterprise will retail for €899, which works out to about $900 US at current exchange rates. This isn’t as expensive as Meta’s $1,500 Quest Pro, but it helps establish that advanced technology in professional VR headsets costs significantly more.

While Meta continues to dominate in North America, Pico is well established as an enterprise VR provider in Europe, the Middle East and Asia, so that’s where the challenge could make an impact. More details can be found at Peak’s website.
