Pregled Pico 4: Ali bi morali dejansko kupiti enega namesto Quest 2?

Pico 4 je odposlan danes in imeli smo priložnost, da ga preizkusimo v zadnjih nekaj tednih. Pico ni novinec v VR – svoje prve slušalke je razkril leta 2016. Lani ga je kupil ByteDance, kitajski tehnološki velikan, ki stoji za TikTokom. Pico vedno

Če ne veste, je ByteDance kitajski tehnološki velikan, ki stoji za TikTokom, in sredi leta 2021 je kupil kitajski startup za slušalke VR Pico. Medtem ko se je Pico prej osredotočal predvsem na podjetja, je manj kot leto po prevzemu predstavil svoje obstoječe slušalke evropskim potrošnikom kot beta test, nato pa je nekaj mesecev pozneje lansiral Pico 4 z boljšimi specifikacijami kot Quest 2 po enaki ceni.

Pico 4 had dual 2K displays and pancake lenses a year before Quest 3, and the headset is priced between Meta’s headsets, effectively acting as a midpoint option. Pico 4 isn’t sold in North America though, amid poročali regulativni nadzor nad TikTokom. In medtem ko je ByteDance financiral razvijalce za prenos velikega odstotka glavne vsebine Quest Store, še vedno pogreša samostojne ekskluzive Mete, kot so Beat Sabre, Resident Evil 4, Population: ONE in Onward.

Samo en mesec po predstavitvi Pica 4 kitajska novica Sina Technology je izdala poročilo citing “multiple insiders” at Pico claimed sales weren’t meeting expectations. The report also claimed the ByteDance acquisition had led to “factional disputes” between original employees and new staff added by the tech giant, and included an estimate that ByteDance was losing around $140 per headset sold.

Pico je ena glavnih ekskluziv, Ubisoftov Just Dance VR, še ni odposlan ali celo dobil datuma izdaje, čeprav je predviden za »2023«, podjetje pa ni objavilo nobenih drugih večjih ekskluzivnih naslovov.

Nedavno smo poročali that Pico was shifting the majority of its content funding from controllers to controller-free hand tracking content. It’s possible that ByteDance may aim its next hardware at competing with Apple Vision Pro, not Meta Quest. We’ll have updates as soon as we learn more.
