Better experience for consumers worldwide
As a technology company with independent innovation and research capabilities, PICO is a leader in integrating virtual reality into areas such as sports, video and entertainment, improving the everyday lives of consumers around the world. In September 2024, the PICO 4 Ultra VR MR headset was released, enabling new advances in human-computer interaction and linking ecosystems. Users can interact with virtual content in a realistic environment and switch between different devices for a seamless connection.
By fusing traditional sports with high-tech equipment, limitations of time, location, environment and professional equipment can be easily overcome. This provides users with more flexible and richer fitness scenes while ensuring safer and more efficient sports experiences. In addition to collaborating with Intel on this VR sports festival, PICO also plans to partner with Juventus Women and become the club’s first VR device partner to support women in sports.
