When it comes to ByteDance, everyone should be familiar with it. When it comes to this company, the first reaction that comes to mind is Douyin , Toutiao, Xigua Video and other APPs. In September 2021, ByteDance acquired the VR brand PICO company. You may not have heard of the name PICO, but according to the information checked by the editor, PICO ranked fourth in the top ten VR brands in the world in 2022 (according to the global VR headset brand market share ranking). Recently, PICO's new product, PICO 4, was released. What kind of surprise will it bring to consumers a year after it was acquired by ByteDance?
This time, the color scheme of PICO 4 is a black mirror and a gray body, which looks simple and layered. Not only that, PICO also incorporates a 16-megapixel RGB lens into the black mirror, reducing the "offensive" brought to consumers. Since users will use VR for a long time, if the machine is too heavy, it will make the user feel uncomfortable. In order to solve this problem, PICO4 adopts Pancake folding optical path design, which reduces the weight-bearing feeling while alleviating the problem of picture deformation and improving the quality of imaging. PICO 4 is equipped with dual 2.56-inch displays and reaches 4K+ level, making the display effect clearer and users feel more realistic. Dual stereo speakers with SAMI sound enhancement algorithm are added to create a more directional and spatial audio effect. On Bilibili, there is a game area up that has brought you PICO 4 reviews. The up believes that the previous VR devices are heavier, but PICO 4 is lighter and more flexible than previous VR products. Moreover, compared with the PICO 3 handle, the sensing performance of the PICO 4 handle has doubled, and there are few cases of missing handles or inaccurate positioning.
In addition to gaming related, this time PICO 4 also brings us sports functions, video viewing functions, and creates our own 3D world functions and game community functions. In general, this time PICO 4 breaks people's awareness that VR is limited to playing games and watching movies. The newly added sports functions break the boundaries of time and space to make VR devices closer to our daily needs. On Zhihu, some consumers also asked whether PICO 4 has the potential to become a hot product. Netizens also have their own opinions on this. Some think there is, and some think it also needs to look at the actual performance. Are you looking forward to PICO 4?
