From humble beginnings to global presence
From humble beginnings to global presence
Beginning as a start-up in 2015, PICO has been driven to innovate and launch all-in-one VR headsets for a consumer market, initially in China and eventually the rest of the world. PICO doubled its sales until early 2021, when PICO became, despite its modest size, the third-largest VR headset manufacturer in the world. Such roaring growth caught the eye of TikTok-owner ByteDance, which acquired an ownership share, scaling up PICO to the impressive global presence the company boasts of today.

Using Pico headsets

Which Pico headset is the best fit for events?
For events where a 360-degree video is shown to a large number of people the Pico G2 4K (or it’s follow up) is the perfect fit. It has a 4k display offering high-resolution visuals in 3 dimensions (meaning you can freely look all around you). For events where it is necessary to walk around a virtual world it is advised to use a 6 dof headset like the Pico 4 Enterprise. A downside of this headset when it is needed in large quantities is that it is significantly more expensive than the G2 4K. -
