PICO has officially launched its first all-in-one Mixed Reality (MR) headset, the PICO 4 Ultra. This groundbreaking device marks a significant milestone for PICO, offering users a more immersive and personalized MR experience than ever before.
With advanced hardware, innovative features, and a comprehensive ecosystem, the PICO 4 Ultra is set to redefine how we interact with digital environments.
At the heart of the PICO 4 Ultra is its high-performance hardware, designed to deliver exceptional visuals and seamless performance.
The device features dual 32-megapixel RGB cameras paired with an iToF depth-sensing camera, providing users with a stunning high-definition color passthrough experience. This setup ensures that the virtual and real worlds blend seamlessly, creating a more lifelike and immersive environment.
One of the standout features of the PICO 4 Ultra is its panoramic workspace. This feature allows users to operate multiple windows simultaneously, enhancing multitasking capabilities and improving overall efficiency.
Whether you’re working, gaming, or enjoying entertainment, the PICO 4 Ultra’s multi-window support ensures a smooth and comfortable experience.
Full-Body Motion Tracking: A New Level of Immersion
In addition to the PICO 4 Ultra, PICO also introduced the PICO Motion Tracker, a motion capture accessory that takes immersion to a whole new level.
This lightweight tracker, designed to be worn on the ankles, allows for full-body motion capture, making it ideal for applications like VRChat, Tempo Club, and Les Mills Dance.
PICO’s proprietary multimodal fusion tracking solution powers the Motion Tracker, offering highly accurate and low-latency motion capture. This means that every movement is captured in real-time, allowing users to fully immerse themselves in virtual and mixed reality experiences.
The Motion Tracker’s compatibility with popular entertainment applications further enhances its appeal, making it a must-have accessory for those looking to deepen their MR experience.
Redefining Mixed Reality with Comprehensive Features
The PICO 4 Ultra is not just about advanced hardware—it’s about creating an all-new MR experience. The device supports multi-window operation in its panoramic workspace, allowing users to freely adjust the size and layout of application windows in a boundless virtual space.
Switching between immersive and passthrough modes is also seamless, requiring just a single click in the system navigation bar.
PICO 4 Ultra offers users access to a world-leading MR/VR application ecosystem, providing an unparalleled audio-visual entertainment experience.
This is made possible by the device’s seven visual sensors, including four environmental tracking cameras for SLAM spatial positioning and two color cameras, along with the iToF depth-sensing camera for environmental perception.
The PICO 4 Ultra’s high-definition visuals are further enhanced by its dual 4K+ super-sense display, which supports a refresh rate of up to 90Hz by default. With a rendering resolution of 1,920 x 1,920, the device delivers clear and immersive visuals that are nearly indistinguishable from physical reality.
Advanced Technology for an Enhanced Video Experience
In today’s digital entertainment era, spatial video is becoming increasingly popular as a way to record and share experiences. The PICO 4 Ultra is equipped with cutting-edge technology that enhances the spatial video experience from shooting to playback.
With its bionic human eye lens layout, the PICO 4 Ultra can simulate human binocular vision, presenting 3D images with spatial depth to viewers.
The device can shoot spatial videos at a maximum resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 at 60 fps, ensuring smooth action recording even for dynamic subjects. Future updates will also support spatial audio recording, adding another layer of realism to the video experience.
Moreover, the PICO 4 Ultra is fully compatible with spatial videos and photos shot on Apple devices, including the iPhone 15 Pro series and Vision Pro, making it easy to import and view content directly on the device.

PICO is committed to expanding its MR/VR application ecosystem, and the PICO 4 Ultra is a testament to this dedication. With over 600 applications available, including nearly 500 games, users can enjoy a wide range of experiences, from audio-visual entertainment to productivity tools.
The device also includes 48 MR games and 21 games compatible with the PICO Motion Tracker, providing a comprehensive gaming ecosystem that caters to all preferences.
PICO Connect, the platform’s connectivity solution, has also been upgraded, reducing streaming latency by up to 30% when paired with Wi-Fi 7 routers. This ensures seamless cross-screen interconnectivity between PCs/Macs and smartphones, allowing users to switch easily between devices and enjoy a multi-functional entertainment and work platform.
