History
On April 7, 2021, PICO Immersive announced it was developing its next VR headset after being purchased by ByteDance.[3] PICO stated that the PICO Neo 3 would be designed for enterprise, commercial, and professional applications.[4][5] PICO said that it would also rival the Meta Quest 2.[6][7]
It was released originally in Asia, followed by a strict launch in Europe in certain markets such as Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK.[8][9]
Western enterprise focus
Upon its initial reveal, PICO aimed the PICO Neo 3 specifically at the enterprise market in the West. Following the success of the PICO Neo 3, PICO released other models of the PICO Neo 3, such as the PICO Neo 3 Link, PICO Neo 3 Pro, and PICO Neo 3 Pro Eye, specifically aimed at Western countries such as some parts of Europe and North America.[10][11][12]
Legacy and successors
The Pico Neo 3 boosted Pico's presence outside of Asia. The software, operating system, and hardware learnings from the PICO Neo 3 helped shape its successor, the PICO 4, which was revealed on September 22, 2022, and released on October 18, 2022.[13]
