1. Preface
Starting from the first year of VR in 2016, after 6 years of exploration and development, VR all-in-one products have gradually dominated the domestic VR consumer market. Compared with PC VR equipment, VR all-in-one machines have a lower threshold for getting started, which is more friendly to the ordinary user group, directly lowering the use distance between VR equipment and ordinary people.
When it comes to the domestic VR field, we have to mention PICO. After its establishment in 2015, it has been deeply engaged in the VR field for many years, with a deep technical accumulation and a rich content ecosystem. Recently, PICO launched its new PICO 4 VR all-in-one machine. So can it meet your expectations for use and how it performs? Let’s take a look!
2. Unboxing appearance
▲PICO 4 The overall packaging is quite large. The front of the packaging is the product picture, the bottom of the packaging is marked with all the accessories information in the packaging, and the back of the packaging are several VR masterpieces recommended this time. In the current domestic VR market, the ecology and content of PICO are very complete, so you can feel at ease when using it. ▲The first thing I saw when I opened the packaging box was the PICO 4 VR host and handle. The overall color is mainly gray and white, with a simple style and a stylish design, which is very popular with young people. ▲PICO 4 The front of the host adopts an integrated space mirror design, has the feeling of the number one player's science fiction movie, and is full of futuristic technology. The front is made of black mirror material, so there are scratch-resistant stickers in the factory, full of details. ▲There are four monochrome cameras for environmental tracking at the four corners of the front of the host. Be careful not to block them when using it. The center of the front space mirror is a 16-megapixel color perspective camera, which can understand the surrounding environment more clearly when worn, which is easy to operate. Moreover, compared with the black and white perspective of other VR products on the market, the color is closer to the real and seamless connection between virtual and real. There is a heat dissipation hole on both sides of the front, so that the VR equipment can achieve better performance release when it is working. ▲button and interface part, on the left side of the front is the USB-C charging interface; on the right side is the power button, press and turn on and off the power, and press to sleep for a short time. Next to it is the status indicator light for displaying the charging status and operating status. ▲There are two adjustment buttons for volume up and down on the right bracket. The overall key layout is very reasonable and can be easily adjusted and used when worn. ▲PICO 4 Optical lenses have stickers in the factory, and there are tips for use on them. First, do not let the sunlight directly touch the lens. Long-term exposure will cause macular spots to appear on the screen. Secondly, do not forcefully rotate the lens barrel to avoid damage to the focus mechanical structure. ▲There is a speaker interface at the ends of the brackets on both sides of the left and right sides. This position corresponds to the ear area when worn, and the two sides form a stereo playback effect. ▲PICO 4 adopts the rear design of the battery compartment, with hard straps on both sides and leather straps on the top. The embedded adjustment knob can quickly adjust the tightness of the wear. There is a thicker foam layer in the position where the battery compartment comes into contact with the head. The surface is wrapped in PU leather. It can improve comfort while also having an anti-slip effect. Accessories Introduction ▲ handle is powered by two No. 5 batteries. The battery is installed in advance. When using it, it will be automatically turned on and then automatically turned on. The handle of ▲PICO 4 has changed a lot compared to the previous generation. It abandoned the mainstream large ring design and changed to a star ring arc column design independently developed by PICO. It cleverly integrates infrared optical sensors into the star ring, which not only avoids the previous ring design being "head-heavy" and is unstable and easy to fall, but also solves the problem that the two handles are prone to collision during use. specific usage scenarios, while holding, the fingers can be placed in the trigger key and grasp key. The overall grip of is more in line with the ergonomic design, and the back with a larger contact area with the palm is treated with granular texture, which also has an anti-slip effect when holding. ▲PICO 4 The controller has been upgraded internally, adding a HyperSense wide-frame linear motor, with a vibration frequency range of 50Hz-500Hz. It can provide multiple levels and more realistic feedback on various operations in VR masterpieces, bringing you a more comprehensive and realistic 6DoF VR experience. At the same time, the right controller has also added a quick screenshot button this time, which is convenient for you to record the VR experience at any time, and can also share it with friends quickly. ▲A randomly comes with two handle lanyards, which is convenient for freeing your hands when using it, and avoiding the handle being thrown off when playing some VR masterpieces with large movements. ▲PICO 4 also has an accessory box, the official accessories include USB-C charger (20W MAX), USB-C To C 2.0 data cable, glasses bracket, shading nose pad , handle lanyard, quick guide, and instruction manual. ▲▲ glasses bracket is mainly aimed at people with myopia. If you wear VR equipment, the glasses will push the optical lenses, and the bracket can be installed to increase the space. The bracket is magnetically attached to the main unit, which is relatively simple to install. ▲Black-shielding nose pad is mainly determined based on your actual situation. If you feel that the light is leaking at the nose position when using it, which affects the viewing experience, you can install the nose pad. The steps are also very simple. The face-fitting foam is adsorbed on the host. After disassembly, there is a snap buckle at the nose position of the foam , and the black-shielding nose pad can be stuck on it. PICO 4 Parameter configuration brief description performance configuration, PICO 4 VR all-in-one machine is equipped with Snapdragon®️XR2 chip , which belongs to the previous upgraded version of U Snapdragon 865 on mobile phones. In order to ensure better performance release, the host has increased active cooling. The entire system LPDDR4X/8GB memory, UFS 3.0 128GB/256GB flash memory is optional, and supports WiFi 6 wireless connection, built-in System Experience PICO OS 5.0 is customized and developed based on Android and is an operating interface system designed for VR all-in-one machines. PICO OS 5.0 has been deeply optimized for VR masterpieces, audio and video and interactive operations, making the user experience of virtual reality devices more concise and smooth, with hundreds of thousands of hours of cooperative film and television resources and rich VR masterpieces and applications. The actual experience of is very simple and clear. The interactive operation is generally very efficient and very fast to get started. A real-time navigation bar has been added to call out the navigation bar in any interface for related operations. is used for the first time. The system has a guide for beginners. There are detailed VR usage tutorials, including main settings options, interface adjustments, etc., as well as multi-terminal interoperability operation steps. It can be said that it is very friendly to newcomers who have been in contact with VR for the first time, greatly reducing the threshold for use. every time you turn on the computer, the system will prompt the security boundary setting, and then choose the standing posture or sitting posture. During use, if you are close to the safety boundary, there will be an edge line reminder in the screen. When you walk out of the boundary, the front 16 million RGB camera will be called, and the VR screen will display full-color perspective real world . Security is simple and easy to understand for newcomers. display effect PICO 4 series is equipped with 2 2.56-inch Fast-LCD square screen, a super visual screen with a resolution of up to 4K+ levels on both eyes. PPI reaches 1200, a refresh rate of 90Hz, and a 100% sRGB color gamut coverage. Through the self-developed Pancake folding light path design, the lens is thinner, and it is more comfortable to use, the viewing angle becomes larger, and the picture is clearer. This time, the visual angle of PICO 4 also reached 105 degrees. The most important technical indicator of VR equipment is the angle resolution of 20.6. The angle resolution is also called the sharpness of the headset. The visual angle of the VR equipment is fixed, and the distance from the screen is also fixed. Therefore, the physical resolution data is good on the one hand. How many pixels the human eye sees is the most important, and it is also the perceived screen clarity. The calculation formula of PPD is a single-eye resolution/visual angle. At present, 20.6 has no competitors in the consumer VR market. If it is high, you need to wait for technological progress. PICO 4 supports 62-72mm electric pupil distance adjustment. You can select the pupil distance that suits you in the system. This is the same as measuring the pupil distance when using myopia glasses . If the data does not match, you will experience dizziness. The actual display effect is experienced. When playing VR videos, the overall picture quality of PICO 4 is full, without graininess, and is relatively clear and sharp when displaying text information. The 105° viewing angle has improved a lot compared to the previous generation. There are no dim corners on the edges, nor is there any traditional Fresnel lens VR picture center and blurry around it, so that the immersion feels stronger when playing some VR masterpieces. PICO 4 There is also low blue light authentication, which is not enabled by default. Eye protection mode can be turned on in the settings-display. VR equipment is essentially an electronic device, and eye protection work must be done well. wearing experience Speaking of the wearing experience of PICO 4 VR all-in-one, we have to mention the newly upgraded Pancake optical design design this time. Compared with the traditional Fresnel lens design, this design also allows PICO 4 to lose weight in size. The weight of the headset is reduced by 100g compared to the previous generation. is directly reflected in the wearing experience. The feeling of weight bearing is much less for a long time, and the weight of the helmet is almost negligible. then the structural design of PICO 4 optimizes the wearing experience. PICO 4 adopts the rear design of the battery compartment, so that the front and rear counterweights are balanced when worn, and the structure is more stable when worn. At the same time, the strap part has been changed from the traditional VR elastic band design to hard plastic. The strap part and the host part are connected by a rotating shaft. When worn, the distance between the eyes and the eyepiece is adjusted first, and then fixed with a knob. It is not only more relaxed and convenient to wear and will not affect the hairstyle. Compared with the elastic band for a long time, it will not produce pressure on the head circumference. This is quite friendly to users with large head circumference. In addition, this face-fitting foam is very good, the material is soft, and the fit of the eye contour and forehead is very good. It forms a good seal when worn. There are no light leakage reasons for VR equipment, and the surface is made of cotton yarn, which is breathable and sweat-resistant. finally optimizes myopia groups in terms of wear. For my personal use, I am a myopia group. Although my glasses frame is quite wide, after installing the randomly included glasses bracket, there is no problem after wearing them. You can refer to it. If your frame is large and the glasses bracket that comes with cannot bring a better wearing experience, you can choose the anti-blue light magnetic myopia lenses jointly created by PICO official and Yishilu , so that you can directly get rid of the constraints of glasses when using VR and bring a more extreme VR experience. Fun and rich VR masterpiece experience PICO's content ecology construction is becoming more and more abundant. Many VR masterpieces produced by major manufacturers can be found in the PICO application store, such as "Super Hot", "Sword and Magic", "Red Matter", and "Rhythm Hero", which greatly enriches the playability and fun of VR devices. PICO The single price of VR masterpieces in the store is around 40 or 50 yuan. There are often official discount activities for game content, and the price is acceptable and is within the affordable range. After all, only by supporting genuine editions can the content ecosystem form a benign closed loop and thus form continuous development. The actual experience of What impressed me most was that the recognition of 6DoF controllers is very accurate. For example, in VR masterpieces like "Rhythm Hero", which are similar to music games, especially the performance of the equipment and the delay of the animation. The handle turns into a Star Wars Lightsaber, and the close arrows need to be cut off in the prescribed direction. There is also a dodging action. After several rounds, the overall animation is very flowing, and there is no delay in cutting and dodging, and the experience is very good. "Live Fishing" is a VR masterpiece I personally like very much. The simulation level is very high. The scene can be unlocked according to the continuous improvement of the fishing level. There are city riverside/scenic areas/sea fishing, etc.; there are many custom options, you can choose the type of fish/corresponding bait/fishing rod/fish hook line group; you can also add friends to fish together, chatting about the mountains while fishing, and enjoy endless fun. In terms of actual fishing operations, the handle has corresponding vibration feedback when pulling the rod and swaying the fish, and it is multi-level and has a very high simulation level. If you also like fishing, then don’t miss this "Live Fishing". Finally, I wish all the fishermen to catch epic fish as soon as possible. Hahaha~ Private giant screen theater PICO OS video application has a large number of mainstream film and television resources, including movies, 3D movies, TV series, popular variety shows, and many documentaries suitable for children to watch. When playing content, it is like being in a cinema. You can adjust the size and direction of the movie screen through the handle. When you encounter a plot you don’t like, you can use the handle to accurately click and fast forward. It is your own private cinema , and you can click and click whatever you want. The overall picture quality and brightness are pretty good. Some dark-toned movies, such as Guardians of the Galaxy and Blade Runner 2049, have good contrast displays, and the details of the dark parts are clearly visible. I think it is basically the same as the cinema. In addition, 3D movies can be given priority, which will have better visual impact than ordinary movies. Generally speaking, as a heavy movie enthusiast, PICO 4 has a very excellent experience in movie viewing. In addition to basic film and television content, there are also some PICO 4 Bilibili can be installed in the application store. The window size and height can be adjusted, and the barrage in the video is also perfectly displayed. For heavy users like me, there is another way to watch videos. If you think it will affect other people when watching movies and TV series, you can turn on Bluetooth in the settings to connect to true wireless headphones, which also ensures the privacy of your personal viewing experience. At the same time, if you are a heavy movie lover like me, you can turn on eye protection mode in the settings-display. PICO 4 supports TUV low blue light certification, and eye protection still needs to be done well. The World Cup will begin soon this November. It is even more different to use PICO 4 VR all-in-one to watch the World Cup live broadcast. After all, Douyin is already a broadcaster for this World Cup, and it is expected to be expected. Home fitness coach High fitness exercise experience, with rich quantity and very high quality, such as "Eleven Table Tennis", "Super Burning Moment", "Ramey Fighting", "All-in-One Summer Games" and other VR masterpieces in the field of fitness exercises. In addition, there are benefits now. During the release of the new model, users who place orders will also receive fitness members. First experience the main promotion "Super Moment", which includes boxing, swordsmanship, sticks and other sports events tailor-made for VR equipment. The specific course is developed by PICO and the sports and fitness brand Super Orangutan . Such scientific customized courses can help you achieve the effect of sports and fat loss during the play. actual experience, beginners will have special coaches to introduce you to the precautions of the course and the movements in person. During the practice, there are corresponding voice prompts to adjust the intensity and rhythm. Thanks to the precise spatial positioning of 6doF, the system will automatically monitor whether your movements are standard and give corresponding suggestions. Compared with VR devices such as fitness rings, it is inherently more immersive and combines exercise with fun. is full of fun, and the body is exercised while having fun. For groups who like sports, VR not only watch movies but also can be used for exercise, which greatly enriches the usage scenarios of VR devices and further improves the usage rate of VR devices. I think in the subsequent development of VR, as the equipment size continues to shrink, VR equipment has broad development space around the field of sports and fitness. In the future, more professional sports indicator monitoring such as heart rate / blood oxygen can be added, so the gym can be closed in the future. Of course, data is also needed to be recorded after exercise. PICO OS has a built-in sports center. uses PICO's self-developed Calsense physical fitness algorithm, which can record calories consumed in exercise in real time. At the same time, it will also give relevant exercise suggestions. Fitness is not only fun, but also professional data presentation, which can help you better adjust and formulate subsequent exercise and fitness plans. Summary of the content ecosystem, currently there are more than 230 applications in the PICO ecosystem. VR equipment is no longer a new and fresh dust-eating device. The rich ecosystem can allow your PICO 4 to play its greatest value and take you to experience the broader VR world. After the above experience, it can be clearly seen that PICO 4 VR all-in-one has a low threshold for ordinary users. If you want to experience the VR world, you don’t need to match PC VR with high-performance computers, which greatly expands the user group of VR devices; comfortable wearing experience and excellent display effects can also bring users a better visual immersion; finally, as a leader in the domestic VR field, PICO has a lot of content ecological resources, constantly expanding the usage boundaries of VR devices, allowing the VR devices in your hands to maximize their use value, so that you will not become a dust-eating device after buying the device.
