PICO 4 is a virtual reality headset developed by ByteDance.[6] It is designed for virtual reality games and is only available in Europe and East Asia (China, South Korea, Japan, Malaysia and Singapore).[7][8] It is currently not available in the United States.[9] PICO founder and president Henry Zhou expected to sell more than 1 million units of the headset.[10] PICO 4 is a competitor of Quest 2.[11][12] In November 2023, VRChat was launched on PICO 4.[13]

Specifications

The PICO 4 uses pancake lenses in combination with two small LCD displays[14] one for each eye in the head mounted display. This technology allows for a lighter headset with an increased image resolution.
The pancake lenses have some drawbacks introduced by the light bouncing between the lens layers, but are generally considered to have less artifacts than the previously used Fresnel lens.[15]
There are a few features that have been introduced in this product, real time hand tracking and a see through mode in low resolution.
