As has been reported, PICO Technology JAPAN's standalone VR head mounted display (HMD) "PICO NEO 3 Pro" will be released in late July.
Pico Neo 3 Pro
Pico Technology is a Beijing company founded in March 2015.Starting with a simple VR headset PICO 1, which puts a smartphone, it has started selling devices in the global market in earnest from PICO GOBLIN equipped with Snapdragon820.
In Japan, it is also adopted for many amusement facilities and entertainment applications, and recently "PICO G2 4K" has been sold at SoftBank Selection.
In China, "PICO NEO 3" has been released since May 11, and sold in Japanese yen for around 41,000 to 2000 yen.It has exceeded 2,000 units in 3 minutes after the release, and has been popular in 14 hours, about 170 yen.The company's CEO is aiming for 1 million units in China in about one to a year and a half in China.
On the other hand, in Japan, there is no consumer version of the sales, and "PICO NEO 3 Pro" for corporations will be sold.Pico Neo 3 also has "Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye" that supports Aito Racking, but this time I got the opportunity to touch "Pico Neo 3 Pro" at the media experience session, so I would like to introduce the content I experienced.
"Pico Neo 3 Pro" is a successor model of Pico Neo 2 and adopts Qualcomm XR2 as a processor.Equipped with a 6GB RAM and a 256GB storage.The resolution is 3664 x 1920 dots, and the viewing angle is 98 degrees.The maximum refresh rate is up to 90Hz.
The left is pico Neo 2, and the right is Pico Neo 3 Pro.While following the basic design, the number of tracking cameras has increased from two places in PICO NEO 2 to four.
The external speaker is attached to the lower part of the HMD, but it is equipped with the left and right headbands.Because it is close to the ear, you can enjoy VR with a more stereo and spread sound.
The attached controller also changed from a simple stick -shaped object on the left to an optical type similar to the competitive Oculus Quest 2.
The pico Neo 3 consumer had nothing on the back, but the Pico Neo 3 Pro has a dial, and after a loose cover, it is fine -tuned with a dial.In addition, the headband is not a soft material, but it is stable because it has become a hard plastic, making it easier to put on and detach by dialing.
In addition, one USB Type-C is installed more than PICO NEO 3.From the USB Type-C, it is connected by a dedicated cable that connects DisplayPort.It is possible to play more stable remote play than wireless LAN connection
The pupil distance (IPD) can be physically changed in three stages.In addition, the material that comes into contact with the face is a material in which pico Neo 3 sucks sweat similar to competitors, but pico Neo 3 Pro is difficult to pass through sweat and air, and it is easy to wipe with wet tissue.Be
Pico Neo 3 Pro connects to a PC via wireless LAN or wired, and can enjoy SteamVR apps and games.Experience the popular VR rhythm game "BEAT SABER", a very popular VR rhythm game that cuts the beat with a sword of both hands while actually connected to a PC.
"Beat Saber" was able to play comfortably on wireless LAN, so I felt a delay, I couldn't cut the beat as I wanted, and I couldn't avoid the wall.
This unit is Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.Supports 1.It seems that it was connected to a Wi-Fi 6 router made by TP-Link, but if the latest high-speed communication connection is connected, the controller follows the controller so that it does not seem to be a wireless LAN, and the image is low due to lack of communication speed.It didn't look like that.
さらに、8K動画&静止画の360度映像、2D映像を視聴。8Kの360度動画は、若干パワー不足があるのか多少カク付いて、長時間視聴していると酔いを感じそうだったが、映像は非常に高画質。
I have experienced Vive Focus 3, which has a 5K resolution in a competing competition, but I didn't feel the same screening.If you look at the same sauce continuously, you may see some differences, but I felt that 4K could have a highly high reality.
He also experienced "style", which provides a place for spatial expression to artists as a VR/AR/MR creative platform.At the same time, multiple people logged in to the service at the same time, and enjoyed a 360 -degree building with a CG, a 360 -degree video, and a 360 -degree art work.
Multiple people drawn on the line access the VR space at the same time.The host will guide you remotely, and everyone can collect everyone in one place.If you have VRHMD, you can also do sightseeing tours.
You can also enjoy unrealistic art works that resemble 360 degrees as campuses
PICO NEO 3 Pro also supports Arborxr, a platform that can manage multiple devices from browsers via Wi-Fi.In addition, it also supports "BLINKY", which is possible to distribute VR live.
In "Arborxr", you can also check the battery status of multiple terminals, wireless LAN, and storage capacity from the browser.You can also install the app remotely
Pico Neo 3 Pro has no need to link with an SNS account like a competitive Oculus Quest, and if you install the app after purchase, you can use it immediately.
In addition, a simultaneous playback system is also available.Using a PC or tablet on the control side, you can control multiple clients (PICO NEO 3 Pro) via local networks, and at the same time play the same videos and other content.
The simultaneous regeneration system can be used for school education, entertainment, and product presentations.
Using software enables simultaneous regeneration to multiple clients
In this software, you can reflect the images that viewers are watching remotely to see where viewers are looking.
Follow the movement of the viewer's neck and see where you are looking at the 360 -degree video
In Pico Neo 3 Pro, by setting in advance, an automatic playback system can be used in which the viewer is automatically played when the viewer wears HMD, and the playback position returns to the first time.
In the past, viewers needed time to lecture on how to operate the HMD before experiencing VR, but if there is an automatic regeneration system, there will be no need to do so and just put HMD at a museum or the like.It is said that viewers can easily experience VR images without hesitation.
In addition, the launcher customization system allows you to customize it yourself, such as changing the background of the VR home screen or changing the application to be placed.This makes it possible for companies to freely change each usage scene, such as using their logo.
The Pico Neo 3 Pro starts at around 77,000 yen, which is cheaper for corporations, which is cheaper than competitive products with close performance, and achieves high -resolution VRHMD.In addition, the company is raising funds for BtoC, and is not sure if it will someday, but is also considering the spread of consumer VRHMD in Japan.
In recent years, VR has a difficult situation in outdoor experiences such as amusement facilities, but some have been reaffirmed as a technology that can communicate with third parties remotely.
I would like to focus on PICO's future use scenes, the release of products for consumers, and future trends.
