Pico 4

honestly as a porn device the pico 4 is the best vr headset on the market atm considering price/value..of course you need to be aware that most likely someone in china is watching you jerk off but oh well.. and as already mentioned, its quite "open" in the sense that you can even copy apk files manually and just let them install on the device.

damn i gotta say, i still prefer my index right now, the overall picture quality and experience is still better...the battery died on my pico so i had to do a sesh in the 'ol valve ball-and-chain last night and it was just better

pico 4 picture quality is....odd....i can't really put my finger on it yet, feels like i can "see around or in between the pixels", whereas the screen saturation in an index is solid and feels like i'm really there in the scene

sure the sharpness is a little better in the pico, but there's just something odd about the combination of the lower framerate, the light screendoor effect, the slightly worse tracking, having to jack up the brightness and contrast in every single scene, probably the lens situation too?

all that said, this is all based on pretty limited use, i've only streamed from my main PC with the remote play assistant, and i haven't tried 90fps yet...presumably with time and updates and software improvements, the pico 4 will only get better, but updates won't fix how weirdly it fits on my head, how cheap and janky the controllers are, how i opted to keep one of the protective stickers over the passthrough camera because i just feel icky using it and no effing way am i purchasing anything on the pico store with my financial info, felt bad enough giving them my gmail and wifi password lol

but hey, at least the pico is really, really cheap...it's still amazing for that price which i think is the point considering the information subsidizing

i'm far from an expert on VR but i'm just not terribly impressed with the pico right now, the index is just a much better design in every way imaginable, so comfortable, so easy to use, tons of great software, presumably gabe newell is not interested in saving video of me busting, and nofio is rapidly becoming a real thing that will absolutely convince me to box up my pico and shelve it or sell it off, even as old and beat up as my index is i'll still prefer it for everything, absolutely sublime design by valve

Found this on reddit

"Check if your pico is from the QC Pass 2022.09 people have reported that this batch might have some problems with the lenses that cause waviness."

YEP, they finally made me update the acct to META acct...no FB acct though. 1/1/23 for my lowly Q1

still waiting on something good...not sure it will come before i kick the bucket

Q3 could be good, but i hear the specs are not that great on it already and it's a frigging year away almost

apple? with the dual 4k lenses could be good, but WHEN?

i did learn a NEW feature on the Q1 - when looking at webpages, you can hit the three dots on the top right and make the page bigger. that helps for the reading

i'm a little slow

started watching REGULAR shows on it...netflix is pretty good, prime is better. will hook up hulu a little later

I am new to VR world. I bought Pico 4 last dec. So far I am happy using PICO with SLR. When will the deovr be available for Pico? Now I have to download videos to enjoy

gary8000 Deo is currently available for the Pico 4 via SideQuest.

Polar

Is it/will it be available for the HTC Vive XR Elite? Tempted but it’s no good without Deo

Have you try it without the facepad tho?

alibaba yes, did quite a bit of experimenting (even measured it in test hmd) and the fov can be improved quite a bit. Just not to index levels.

I'm curious

If pico works off Android, right?
Is there a way to get deo pico version to work on Android phones with the color pass-through

I still have a s7 and gearvr, was trying to install deo pico but no score, smh can't believe Samsung s7 pass through has better pt color then a quest 2, smh

Gotta be a way to get the new deo to work on androids...

Lol my version on my s7 is deo 8.3 version

Man them picos selling like hot cakes, out of stock at uk Amazon and at newegg the global 128g is out of stock.
