PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise: The next generation of Virtual Reality glasses for training

Virtual Reality has become a key tool for simulating realistic and immersive learning environments. In this context, PICO glasses stand out as the ideal equipment, offering a balanced combination of power, comfort and functionality that meets the demands of both companies and educational centres.

Recently, the company PICO, renowned for its innovation in the field of Virtual Reality, has gone a step further with the launch of the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise. This new model incorporates technological improvements that optimise the training experience, providing an even more effective and immersive educational environment.

Below, we look at the most significant improvements of the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise over its predecessors.

One of the most significant advances in the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise is at the heart of the device: the processor. While the PICO 4 Enterprise is equipped with the Qualcomm XR2 Gen 1, the new PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise features the Qualcomm XR2 Gen 2, which offers more processing power and capability.

This upgrade allows the glasses to run more complex and detailed simulations without sacrificing performance. In a training environment, where accuracy and realism are key, this increase in processor capacity is a very positive improvement to ensure a smooth learning experience.

Another significant advance in the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise is the increase in RAM. While the PICO 4 Enterprise has 8GB of RAM, the Ultra Enterprise increases this to 12GB. This increase makes it possible to handle larger and more complex virtual environments, maintaining a high level of detail and ensuring a greater number of interactive objects without compromising the performance of the device.

In industrial simulations, for example, this improvement translates into more realistic experiences. Users can interact with more accurately represented tools and materials, facilitating hands-on learning that accurately replicates real-world scenarios.

Ultimately, the increase in memory ensures that the simulators offer greater responsiveness and visual richness, which optimises the training process.

Connectivity improvements are also notable. The PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise features Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 5.3, ensuring faster and more stable data transfer compared to the PICO 4 Enterprise, which uses Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1.

For collaborative experiences with multiple VR devices connected simultaneously, this improved connectivity allows for a smoother and more seamless experience.

While the display remains 2.56 inches with a resolution of 2160 x 2160 per eye, the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise increases the default brightness, improving visibility in bright environments. This is especially useful for simulations in bright environments or outdoors, where visual clarity is critical to ensure an immersive experience. By improving visibility in these conditions, a major barrier to training quality in a variety of scenarios is removed.

Another notable improvement is the addition of a dual 32 MP Mixed Reality (MR) camera, which replaces the single 16 MP camera found on the PICO 4 Enterprise. This upgrade provides higher resolution capture of the physical environment, allowing for more accurate and detailed real-world elements to be integrated into simulations.

For example, imagine a student mechanic who can clearly see both the virtual environment and his or her own hands interacting with physical tools, achieving a level of detail and realism that enhances the quality of training.

Interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment has also been improved. While the PICO 4 Enterprise uses eye tracking to automatically adjust IPD, the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise allows for continuous motorised adjustment, enabling more precise and comfortable customisation to individual user preferences. This feature ensures that each person can enjoy the best possible visual experience, reducing eye fatigue during prolonged sessions.

In addition, both the goggles and controllers of the new model have been designed to be lighter than their predecessors, which is especially beneficial during long training sessions.

The combination of optimal fit and improved ergonomics ensures that students can immerse themselves in their simulations effectively and comfortably.

Battery life has also been optimised on the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise, which now features a 5700 mAh battery, compared to 5300 mAh on the PICO 4 Enterprise. This translates into longer battery life, allowing for longer uninterrupted training sessions, which is essential in intensive training environments.

In addition, the new model supports USB charging with up to 45W support, facilitating much faster recharging. This fast charging capability is especially valuable in training contexts where time is limited and efficiency is key, allowing users to return to their simulations more quickly and maximise learning time.

One of the most important new features of the PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise is the addition of an iToF (Indirect Time-of-Flight) depth sensor, which was not present in the PICO 4 Enterprise. This sensor allows the device to measure the distance between objects in the real environment and the glasses, creating a more accurate three-dimensional mapping of space.

For example, in simulations that require interaction with both virtual and real objects (Mixed Reality), the iToF depth sensor enables accurate calculation of the position of hands or physical tools in relation to the virtual environment. This capability is crucial in tasks that require the manipulation of physical objects, such as in technical or medical training, where accurate positioning can make the difference between an effective learning experience and an inaccurate one.

The PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise glasses represent not only a technological evolution, but also an enhanced tool for training. With more processing power, better connectivity and advanced cameras, these glasses deliver a higher quality immersive experience. In addition, the improved accuracy, immersion and fluidity they offer will make learning experiences more effective and engaging.

On the other hand, these glasses stand out for their balance between performance and ease of use, making them the perfect choice for training environments. Their ability to handle complex simulations, advanced connectivity and ergonomic design make them ideal for long training sessions.

All these factors ensure that companies and educational institutions get the maximum benefit from our simulators, optimising learning and improving the technical skills of students and professionals.
