Lisbon, 20 October 2022 – PICO, a leading VR brand with independent innovation and R&D creation capabilities, has revealed plans to launch the PICO 4 Enterprise, a next-generation, all-in-one VR headset that aims to help enterprise customers unlock potential and empower growth across key business areas including healthcare, education,training, and productivity.
The announcement follows the launch of the PICO 4, PICO's newest consumer headset introduced in September. Building on the comfort and performance offered by the PICO 4, the PICO 4 Enterprise brings next-generation features for businesses.
"The PICO 4 Enterprise is a great addition to our Enterprise offering and we are excited for our partners to get their hands on our most advanced headset yet,” said Oliver Wöhler, Enterprise Lead for EMEA. "At PICO, we are committed to offering software and hardware solutions that help our partners realize immersive enterprise solutions. The PICO 4 Enterprise does exactly that.”
Pioneering Performance Technology
PICO 4 Enterprise is the first PICO headset to feature precise face, eye, and hand tracking. Supported by two infrared cameras, the headset offers a more immersive and interactive VR experience that empowers meaningful connections for businesses wherever they operate. In addition, PICO 4 Enterprise has plans to support accurate automatic IPD adjustment, automatically adjusting to users' interpupillary measurements without additional input or lengthy tutorials.
The headset's four well-placed SLAM cameras placed around its thin frame enable high-precision tracking and mapping of surrounding environments, while maintaining a stylish appearance. Underneath the front panel lives a powerful 16MP RGB camera, bringing to life a display that boasts high color saturation, covering 85% of the NTSC color gamut, and 100% of the sRGB color gamut. The PICO 4 Enterprise is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon® XR2 platform which unlocks cutting edge display and graphics processing. The headset's 90Hz refresh rate, 4K+ screen, 105 degree field of vision, and 1,200 PPI combined with a 5,300mAh rear-mounted battery that supports the latest industry-standard Qualcomm Quick Charge QC 3.0 allows users to enjoy clear, uninterrupted journeys into virtual worlds.
The PICO 4 Enterprise controllers notably feature a one-piece rotating arc column, with cleverly placed infra-red sensors. Considering design and structural strength, the controllers allow users to move their hands closer together with ease while offering added protection provided by hit detection and spatial awareness. The PICO 4 controllers also support 6DoF, allowing users to enjoy a wider degree of movement within the virtual environment, and a HyperSense broadband motor for more realistic haptic feedback.
A new level of comfort
Compact and lightweight, the PICO 4 Enterprise weighs just 300g, plus strap and battery, and is packed full of next-generation technology. The impressive lightness is achieved by implementing smaller and lighter lenses in the PICO 4 Enterprise’s Pancake Optics, reducing the thickness of the case to just 35.8mm at its thinnest.
The PICO 4 Enterprise comes with adjustable straps and uses a double PU foam mask, easy to clean from all sides and also quick to remove with magnetic clips. It is also hygenic as the waterproof PU face mask is detachable, can be switched, disinfected and replaced. Meanwhile, the anti-slip PU leather at the rear of the headset brings even greater comfort and control.
The PICO 4 Enterprise is equipped with a large battery offering up to three hours of use, and industry-leading fast-charge capabilities, as well as TÜV Rheinland Low Blue Light Certification and a counter-weight design, ensuring comfort during extended use. The headset's ergonomic design also supports the use of a glasses spacer which is included in the box, enabling users who wear glasses to fully immerse themselves in their VR worlds without compromising on comfort or clarity.
Built for business, inside and out
PICO headsets have so far enabled businesses to provide value to their customers, improving collaboration in the fields of training, healthcare, education, entertainment, and more, while building the foundation for productivity. PICO Business Suite, integrated withPICO 4 Enterprise, provides access to an Enterprise-level operations system directly, allowing PICO partners to manage their workflow in a secure and private manner.
PICO's Business Suite addresses the needs of enterprise customers and ISVs for customized solutions.The system's three main functions include Sync, Streaming and Kiosk Mode, which allow multiple VR devices to connect while enabling live streaming and more automatic viewing.

PICO continues to prioritize privacy with ISO27001 certification expected by early 2023.
