dudu32 it sounds weird but i want try and experiment with some color filter for passthrough...

is it possible to turn the color passthrough of pico 4 into black-white filter ?

It's not weird G, I thought about that while haf in q2, cuz I like to put effects like color and sharpen alot, i call it "remixing on the fly" wish deo had sum effectts to add, like echo, and a automatic hue color changing, but in pass-through the Grey background adds an effect too, so I thought fuc, a color pass-through just gonna be regular color in the new head sets but it would be cool it has filter options, options like color filters and effects, make your environment wobbly or blurry like a drunk effect. 🥴

But yeah, color filters would be cool. 👍

    this some offtopic but might be interesting for those who like virtamate...

    just saw on youtube that alxr seems to be working now with pico neo 3 and pico 4 and passthrough:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMe-xes5B1w&ab_channel=%E3%82%B3%E3%83%AC%E3%83%82%E3%83%A3%E3%83%B3

    with that info...
    probably it's possible now to do virtamate in passthrough on pico 4 but sadly i don't find any example clips which shows it...and on virtamate forums no one talk about this...=/

    https://github-wiki-see.page/m/korejan/ALVR/wiki/ALXR-Client
    here it says that pico 4 supported and is listed...

    https://hub.virtamate.com/resources/green-screen-passthrough-alxr-client-alvr-apk-for-quest-2.26502/#lg=1&slide=0
    this how it looks on quest 2 and it's nice too.

    can someone confirm if it is already possible to do that on pico 4 ? ^^

    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.

    mnmlikereal yeah man, I'm real close to pulling the trigger and order it.

    But zucky talking bout q3 will focus more on their "meta reality" I'm guessing more " ar" "mixed reality" pass through" so idk 🤷‍♂️ sounds interesting 🤔

        rerun119 buy it then in a year buy the q3

        Man G, I thought about that tooooo, 😂

        I also thought I should just buy the pico cuz these days, a hole lot can happen in a year.

          picos 4 passthrough is not the best but it is way better than the black-white ^^

          you gonna do nothing wrong when go for the pico 4 and soon there will be even more better passthrough for consumers and good price probably..

          i just tried virtamate in passthrough mode and it is not bad.

          with ALVR or ALXR you can now go passthrough on pico 4 and i already experiment with flat porn and that works good too...

          there 2 blend modes which you can active by press hold left menu button + press A or B.
          after get some clip, image or start app like virtamate with black background...

          rly easy and simple to use.

          its a shame that app like virtual desktop still can't do this...
          i always wish to use virtual desktop in passthrough (even then when still had quest 2) but it looks like that never gonna happen.

            dudu32 there 2 blend modes which you can active by press hold left menu button + press A or B.
            after get some clip, image or start app like virtamate with black background...

            Wait, there's what, and does this actually do?

                Vrsumo2017

                you can try this even with quest 2...

                this blend modes are like deovr with black box clips where all the black background gets cut out when in passthrough.

                and after you can like move, scale the steamvr desktop screen anywhere or very close to you...
                this way you can watch some pov clips and experiment with other flat screen porns...^^

                or with apps like virtamate where black background is already by default. =)

                  dudu32 i always wish to use virtual desktop

                  But they can make pov clips to work with pass-through right, like them splinevr scenes?

                  With models like this?

                    Vrsumo2017 The first video is the Pico-sponsored livestreams in UK. I don't know if they are visible in a larger area of Europe but I can't see them in the US. They only have a few and only on the weekend evenings; a schedule is posted in the Pico Discord. [In contrast, domestic Chinese Pico Video has over 100 Pico-sponsored livestreams in 8K VR every day, including some very nice dancers who know how to effectively interact with the VR camera. Of course there is no nudity or explicitness, and the rare kisses are just friendly pecks. But the visual quality is generally far superior to the VR livestreams we are familiar with.]

                    The second one is an 8K interactive VR series released in chapters on the domestic Chinese Pico Video market. The latest series is "My 48 Heartbeats", which is getting very strong viewer reviews on the Pico forum in China. Those series are not viewable in Pico outside of China, not even with the Chinese Pico Video app, but my limited perspective might not be accurate.

                      2d passthrough only and with constant image distortion... 🤔😞

                      Next level shit my ass, still experimental stuff at best... 🫣

                      Color passthrough with no added value
                      In all other functions, Pico 4 meets all expectations of a modern standalone VR experience. The internal motion sensors work quickly and without outside help, as they rely on four fisheye cameras with inside-out tracking. Thus, creating a play area in the apartment is a snap.

                      If you want to see your surroundings between game sessions (or during a short break), just double-tap the side of the device to activate a color pass-through view. Unfortunately, it is by no means suitable for augmented or mixed reality apps. In addition, it distorts the field of vision too much when moving, especially since it does not generate a three-dimensional image. The view is always flat , so you don't even realize how far your hand is from the lenses. Reading texts from a bright screen is also not possible due to the light sensitivity. That was to be expected given the selling price. Certainly not a huge issue but a wasted opportunity because there is no significant improvement compared to other headsetsis recognizable. despite the 16-megapixel RGB camera.

                        it is next level compared to quest 2...

                        don't know about quest pro but many say that it has distortion too and that for 1500$. xD

                        pico 4 completely destroyed meta and the fans still are waiting for quest 3 and a color passthrough for probably 600$ something like that...

                            dudu32 it is next level compared to quest 2...

                            I can only imagine how bad it is on Q2 then.

                            A kind of useless gimmick at best on both devices right now, objecting the very 3D nature of VR...

                              dudu32 don't know about quest pro but many say that it has distortion too and that for 1500$

                              Picture looks OK but when you move your hands in front of cam you can see a bit of Grey, for 1500 that's not good 👎...should be top notch at that price. 😒

                              This from what I've seen on reviews and users showing pass-through

                                dudu32 pico 4 completely destroyed meta

                                I saw a video on YouTube they were showing pass-through and their room was kinda dim but it looked pretty damn good even tho it was dim lighting👍
