(MENAFN Editorial) BEIJING, Dec. 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- At a press conference held in their global headquarters in Beijing, officially revealed the Pico Neo as the world's first mass-produced standalone VR device with six degrees of freedom (6DoF) for both head and controllers. In addition, the company also revealed its expanded B2B VR Enterprise Solutions Program and first details of the Pico Zense, an all-new sub-brand with its first set of Time of Flight (TOF) depth sensor solutions and camera modules.

Pico Event 1 Pico Event 2 PICO NEO: THE WORLD'S FIRST MASS-PRODUCED VR STANDALONE WITH 6DoF HEAD TRACKING AND 6DoF CONTROLLER TRACKING

The Pico Neo is Pico's latest generation of standalone VR headset. It features the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 835 Mobile VR Platform, adopts all-in-one ID design, uses lighter and more breathable cloth material, and is equipped with 3K high definition display, high-speed 4GB RAM, 64GB UFS2.0 ROM, supporting 256 GB expanded storage.

Thanks to the excellent performance of Snapdragon 835 Mobile VR Platform and new ultrasonic remote controller solution, the Pico Neo enables 6DoF head-and-controller tracking and positioning functions. Without any external sensors, the Pico Neo can track both head and hand (controller) movements. It is the world's first VR standalone device that actualizes 6DoF head-and-controller tracking at a mass production scale.

Pico CEO, Mr. Hongwei Zhou, outlined how the Pico Neo uses Qualcomm Technologies' Inside-Out 6DoF technology, optimizing the spatial positioning ability from the lower level of Snapdragon 835 Mobile VR Platform. Even using the positioning function for a long time will not affect Pico Neo's gaming performance. The Pico Neo matches users' actions perfectly, bringing the super immersive VR interactive experience to life.

The process of using the Pico Neo and controllers is very easy. Once the user powers on the headset, puts it on, and enters Pico UI launcher, the 6DoF function will start to scan the surrounding area and the controllers will be connected. The calibration will be completed after adjusting the position and posture to the correct direction. The user can easily move or dodge attacks in the virtual world, and operate complex game reactions such as bimanualoperation. The Pico Neo rarely gets choppy or loses frames as it has been optimized for refresh rate and anti-interference.

PICO EXPANDS B2B VR ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS PROGRAM

Another important part of the conference was the demonstration of Pico's B2B VR Enterprise Solutions Program. Although the company has been focusing on the Consumer market, it never stopped exploring applications within B2B industries. Pico established the Enterprise Program at the end of 2015 and after more than 2 years of R & D experience and exploration, the company has developed several industry application solutions based on Pico's full line of hardware products. These include:

The E – PUI (Product User Interface) VR education broadcast control system

VR theatre broadcast control system

Spatial orientation and motion capture

Depth perception systems

An upgraded scheme of family VR entertainment systems.

Combined with industry VR content, Pico can provide industry clients with customized hardware, content, software, and overall system solutions. At the conference, four sets of industry application demos were displayed for experience, involving education, VR Theaters, commercial displays and automobile.

In 2017, Pico's B2B projects have reached over 200 businesses covering aerospace, education, commercial display, health care, real estate, insurance, automobile and other industries. The company has also cooperated with Toyota, Volkswagen, China life, Mengniu and other industry leaders.
