Pico is suspected of releasing a new VR headset, Pico 4S, with hardware upgrades raising expectations

Recently, the technology circle has once again set off a craze for virtual reality (VR). It is said that Pico, the VR subsidiary of ByteDance, is about to launch a new independent VR headset - Pico 4S. A user named @Lunayian posted an image of a 3D model on social media, claiming it was from the Pico Connect PC client, showing off the Pico 4S's right controller design.

The controller looks very similar to the "Pico 5" controller that leaked on the Internet last September, but there are some obvious differences with the Pico 4 controller. The difference is mainly reflected in the cancellation of the positioning ring. This design adjustment may indicate that Pico 4S will bring a new user experience and interaction method.

It is understood that Pico submitted a trademark application for Pico 4S at the end of last year. According to naming speculation, Pico 4S may be a product launched in the Asian and European markets in October 2022 after a hardware upgrade of the Pico 4 head-mounted display. However, Pico has not disclosed specific upgrade details and performance improvements.

However, although the release of Pico 4S seems imminent, there is also news that in order to compete with Apple’s $3,500 MR headset Vision Pro competition, Pico may suspend the Pico 5 VR headset project for consumers. This makes Pico’s future product line layout confusing. Currently, is Pico planning to release Pico? 4S, Pico 5, and even the rumored Pico 5 Pro Max, there is no clear answer yet.

Despite the layoffs, Pico has not slowed down its pace in the field of virtual reality. Even though the company has experienced layoffs, they still plan to participate in the 2024 Game Developers Conference (GDC), which will be held in San Francisco, USA from March 18th to 22nd. This move undoubtedly demonstrates Pico’s confidence in the virtual reality industry, and they look forward to bringing more innovations and breakthroughs in the future. At that time, we will provide you with Pico's latest developments and reports at GDC as soon as possible.
