Advanced camera technology and mixed reality functions
What sets the Pico 4 Ultra apart from other VR headsets are its two advanced cameras. With a resolution of 32 megapixels, these cameras enable an extremely precise and detailed representation of the real environment. This plays a crucial role in mixed reality applications in particular, where virtual objects need to be seamlessly integrated into the real world. The high resolution of the cameras ensures that these transitions become almost invisible, guaranteeing an immersive experience.
The cameras can also record 3D videos with a resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels and a frame rate of 60 Hz. Inside, there are two 2.56-inch displays with a resolution of 2,160 x 2,160 pixels and a frame rate of 90 Hz. The field of view is 105 degrees.
Thanks to the advanced sensors and cameras, users can scan and interact with their surroundings in real time, opening up new dimensions for gaming and professional applications. The Pico 4 Ultra shows its strengths particularly in games that require high precision and fast reactions.
Powerful Snapdragon XR2 processor and impressive display
Inside the Pico 4 Ultra is the powerful Snapdragon XR2 processor, which was specially developed for VR and AR applications. This chip ensures a smooth and fluid display, even with demanding applications. Thanks to the high computing power, complex virtual environments can be displayed in high quality and without delays. There is also 12 GB of RAM and 256 GB of system memory for the standalone headset.
There are also stereo speakers, four microphones, a 5,700 mAh battery and a motion sensor on the back of the headband that can track head and body movements. There is also an optional motion tracker, which weighs just 27 grams and is designed to accurately detect all movements.
Ergonomic design for maximum comfort
In addition to the high-performance technology, Pico places great importance on wearing comfort with the 4 Ultra. The headset has an ergonomic design and is comfortable to wear even during long sessions. Lightweight materials and a balanced weight distribution ensure that the headset sits comfortably and adapts to different head shapes.
Another highlight is the integrated ventilation system, which prevents overheating and ensures a comfortable temperature during intensive VR sessions. This makes the Pico 4 Ultra suitable for both casual gamers and VR enthusiasts who want to immerse themselves in the virtual world for hours on end.
Price and availability
The Pico 4 Ultra is available immediately, initially in China, and costs the equivalent of around 540 euros. It therefore offers excellent value for money for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the world of virtual reality. It is not yet clear when the model will come to Europe.
