Rumors of a new VR headset from Pico are surfacing, though the company itself hasn’t uttered a word. VR enthusiast Luna revealed the info after reportedly speaking with industry insiders and even getting a glimpse of what might be developer versions of the headset.
The headset will likely sport dual LCD screens with a 2160 x 2160px resolution.
The name “Pico 4S” is yet to be confirmed, but trademarks filed by Pico in March point towards its potential legitimacy. Luna’s reports shed light on the rumored specifications, which include an upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset for better performance. The headset would also boast 12GB of memory for smooth operation.
Visually, the Pico 4S might sport dual LCD screens with a resolution of 2160 x 2160 pixels per eye, delivering a sharp viewing experience. A 90Hz refresh rate is also rumored, promising seamless visuals. The design could take advantage of a compact pancake lens, possibly paired with an electric pupil distance adjustment feature for personalized comfort.
For a more immersive experience, the headset might come equipped with a comprehensive sensor suite. This includes 4 tracking cameras, 2 RGB perspective cameras, and 2 infrared illuminators to capture room depth. The handle design is also rumored to be different from previous models, featuring a ringless approach.
Exciting additions are rumored on the mixed reality front. Room scanning and the ability to freely place virtual floating panels within the physical space are some of the possibilities mentioned by Luna. While Luna suggests these features are likely finalized, there’s always a chance for tweaks before release. Interestingly, a recent device certification in South Korea hints that the launch of the headset could be on the horizon, potentially arriving within the next few months.
