Pico 4

LordCrash

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...

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👍

mnmlikereal much better for porn, for the money.

Yeah G, just for media viewing bet it's great 👍

dudu32

todays passthrough is clearly a gimmick but this gimmick gonna turn soon in future into very big business.
and it will be very interesting for porn consumers too...

i even believe that such ar vr glasses gonna even replace smartphones in near future....

we clearly heading to that and combined with AI this ar vr glasses gonna turn into something very much bigger and very useful in everyones life.

edit:
the gimmick is already very useful today...

I know what you mean G, it will and it'll be helpful too...

I thought about that one day eating out in public, I was looking around and everyone just hunched over looking down on there phones, and I just thought, man this the hunched back generation, new generation will be sitting up straight with AR glasses.

You know with hand tracking being kinda janky they should do them smart glasses but used with a small remote like the gearvr.

Humm, but texting tho...gonna have to speak for texting? Idk ...guess we'll find out when we get there. I know there sum ar glasses out now but I've never seen anyone wearing them, maybe I have just never noticed 🤷‍♂️

But for sure having ar glasses will be an option.

Like wth, in year 2090 every citizen just going be wearing glasses, lol 😆

dudu32

this tech looks interesting too:

holograms techs are nice too...

future will be awesome and like from a sience fiction movie 😃
and no matter which direction and which path we go...the future is already here and gonna take over us.

dudu32

in 2090 there will contact lens or chips which interact with ai and your brain... xD creating visuals similar like you see in your dreams but where you have full control over it and a clean hd resolution but your brain can't really tell more if this the reallife or fake....😃

like lucid dreams but you can control it and off/on when ever you want.

Vrsumo2017

dudu32 how many gigs we talking about here? Lol

dudu32

many 😃

quantum gonna handle it....

dudu32

who knows...
maybe we already living in a matrix...and our dreams and life already are generated by an AI....

its crazy if you start think about this all and the life at all and at were we humans heading at and going....

it rly starts feel like a Simulation in a Simulation Life...its crazy....humans try to recreate/copy god and this matrix.

and its like you already know how it going to end all and how it gonna starts again...and so on...

we are born and living at very interesting time and moment....

Vrsumo2017

dudu32 its crazy if you start think about this all

G, When I'm high as fuck it gets kinda scary thinking about, like wth the world going to turn into, will it really be like playerone, where everything shitty but in vr you're living your best life. Will humans become less and ai does take over. Idk 🤷‍♂️ but yeah its really trippy when you think about it.

Hell we basically in weird science movie now. 🤷‍♂️

And we're turning into A.i are self, the phones the vr helmets, haf I be thinking these are a.i brains we wearing. 😯

dudu32

we only start questioning this LIFE when we are high or drunk (like me 😃)...this is interesting point too.

i think the AI speaks to us when we are high and it try to fool us...even in those moments...^^ =/

dudu32

its like you already know how your life going on and how it gonna end....like a script where you can't do much against it and can't rly protest against it or change anything.....this is were humans heading at...

Question.

In pico 4 in pt, when you put on pt on regular vr videos like the one I preset in "Your pass-through headquarters" discussion, are the minor artifacts less noticeable cuz the pt background color?

mnmlikereal lol sum sexy hot as ghost 👻

There was a big Chinese article about Pico recently. Translated by Google Translate at: https://mp-weixin-qq-com.translate.goog/s/qJForEciYbOgJ0o-Xs_2oQ?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en

Of particular interest:

"A former PICO employee told Tech Planet that 'now PICO's revenue from live streaming has exceeded game revenue. The live broadcast has its bright spots, and it has also formed a relatively good user tipping habit...and some young ladies in the live broadcast room dance erotic dances.'"

[Pico clearly prohibits "sexual" content. The Chinese Pico livestreams do not display nudity, so I assume Pico would respond something like: sexy is not the same as sexual; the livestream content is simply romantic or artistically enticing dances. Those 8K Chinese livestreams are not widely available for viewing outside of China.]
