3 New Pico 4 Enterprise Features We’re Excited About
The XR industry is experiencing explosive technological growth, each new headset released to market comes with game-changing upgrades. For an example, look no further than Pico’s latest headset—the Pico 4 Enterprise. Thanks to a bevy of technical upgrades and some intriguing new capabilities, the Pico 4E marks a significant step up from earlier Pico headsets like the Neo3 Pro.
Are you thinking about building a fleet of Pico 4 Enterprise headsets or wondering if upgrading your current fleet is worth the trouble? Here’s a closer look at three exciting features that set this headset generation apart from its predecessors.
1. Improved Specs
Perhaps the easiest way to see just how much the Pico 4E improves on the Neo3 Pro is by comparing spec sheets. The differences start with each headset’s resolution: the Neo3 Pro offers a resolution of 1832 x 1920 pixels per eye, while the Pico 4E bumps this up to 2160 x 2160 pixels per eye. That means the new headset can deliver sharper, more immersive visuals.
But in the XR field, screen resolution isn’t everything. You’ll also want to know your chosen headset’s field of view (FOV)—that is, how much its environments “surround” users. In contrast to the Neo3 Pro’s 98-degree FOV, the Pico 4E delivers a FOV of 105 degrees.
These aren’t the only technical improvements the Pico 4E has to its name. This headset also has an extra 2 GB of RAM, a slightly longer battery life, and full-color passthrough—all while weighing less than the Neo3 Pro.
2. Eye and Face Tracking
Tracking goes a long way toward making virtual reality as immersive as possible. While “standard” motion controllers can provide a decent approximation of a user’s hand movements, using them isn’t as intuitive as manipulating objects with your actual hands. Hand tracking, which is now a common feature in VR headsets, can make that possible.
Although hand tracking is an obvious application of tracking technology, today’s cutting-edge headsets incorporate other forms of tracking—and that’s certainly the case for the Pico 4 Enterprise. Like the Neo3 Pro Eye, this headset offers integrated eye tracking, allowing it to know where a user is looking at all times. However, the newer device goes one step further by providing full face-tracking capabilities.
The additional tracking features included in the Pico 4E make it an excellent choice for countless business use cases. Eye tracking lets users make eye contact with their coworkers during virtual meetings and provides valuable data on how new employees perform during VR training sessions. Meanwhile, face tracking can capture a user’s facial expressions and mouth movements, adding a greater sense of presence and engagement during meetings.
Along with those benefits, these features will bring you closer to offering a completely immersive “full-dive” experience.
3. Pico Business Suite
Virtual reality is a broad industry, with popular applications ranging from business office use to manufacturing, healthcare to gaming, and even general entertainment. It’s crucial to ensure your company’s headsets actually fit your needs—and understanding the software they offer is a huge part of that process.
Along with making sure your headsets can run the programs you need them to, it’s wise to find devices with operating systems built for enterprise use. The Pico 4 Enterprise is no slouch in that department—it offers an OS known as “Pico Business Suite.” With Pico Business Suite, you can link your headset with your Mobile Device Management platform or universal control panel.
This can allow you to:
Control multiple headsets in your fleet simultaneously
Limit access to content as needed
Handle workflow management
Change your privacy settings
Along with these features, Pico Business Suite comes with a specialized app store for enterprise users. This app store focuses on offering programs related to business and productivity.

Thanks to its best-in-class technical specifications, new abilities, and business-friendly operating system, this is an excellent product for anyone in need of a cutting-edge enterprise-level headset.
