ByteDance Drops  Pico 4 Enterprise at AWE 2022

The Pico 4 was released a few weeks ago as the genuine first rival to Meta Quest 2. Pico 4 Enterprise is the Enterprise version of the Pico 4. The Pico 4 Enterprise should not be confused with the Pico 4 Pro, a prosumer device offered in China. The Pico 4 Enterprise is a gadget that is ONLY for businesses, has been researched for B2B use, and can only be acquired by businesses through specific Pico sales channels.

Design and comfort

Controllers

The use of pancake lenses makes the Pico 4 Enterprise appear to be relatively compact and light. Being a member of the Oculus DK2 generation, I found it amazing to see such a tiny, lightweight VR headset. The device appears to be better constructed and polished than prior Pico models.

The controllers are really well constructed, and I personally leaked them before the device was released. Although fairly ergonomic, they are heavier than I anticipated. I believe that the fact that they have two batteries affects their weight.

Visuals

Passthrough vision

Audio

The visuals on the headset were incredibly clear and featured vibrant colours. There was no screen door effect, and the pixel density was remarkable. The FOV appeared excellent, but I hadn't anticipated seeing such a significant rise.

It appeared to have no depth and to be flat. Additionally, the images were coloured but also had some background noise. In addition, objects that were too close (like my hands) were severely deformed.

The audio integration functioned admirably.

Pico 4 Enterprise is going to be open for preorders on the first week of November 2022 for €899 + VAT through the dedicated network of resellers. Remember that you can buy it only if you are a valid company. The shipping is  expected to happen at some time in December.

Price and release date

The default operating system for Pico was called Pico Enterprise OS, but it was exciting to have a custom menu with only a few apps that I could run. No settings panel, no app store to download apps from, nothing. This is what a business could want to provide its staff, and it was successful.
