CTOnews.com April 19 news, today PICO VR all-in-one PICO 4 Pro officially on the market, the price from 3799 yuan. As the first consumer VR product in China that supports both eye movement tracking and facial tracking technology, PICO 4 Pro can achieve intelligent stepless pupil distance adjustment, human expression simulation, eye interaction and eye tracking rendering functions. In addition, the product is equipped with more storage space and larger battery capacity than the PICO 4, which was launched last year.

According to CTOnews.com, as an upgraded version of the PICO 4 series, PICO 4 Pro can capture the changes of eye and facial movements at high speed by adding two eye tracking infrared cameras and one face tracking infrared camera on the inside of the head. Combined with different algorithms, two new technologies of eye movement tracking and face tracking are realized. It brings users the functions of human expression simulation, intelligent stepless pupil distance adjustment, line-of-sight interaction and line-of-sight tracking rendering.

Human expression simulation maps users' real expressions to VR virtual images. For example, when users blink, laugh and speak, the Avatar of the virtual world will also make corresponding expressions or mouth shapes synchronously. With the blessing of this feature, when users communicate with their friends in the VR world, they can detect each other's emotions through facial expressions, thus getting a more real interactive experience.

Intelligent stepless pupil distance adjustment (PICO 4 Pro) can intelligently record the pupil distance of the user and quickly complete the adjustment. In addition, it can also remember the pupil distance of multiple people, so that family members can quickly enter the VR world when sharing the device, without repeated testing. It is reported that the PICO 4 Pro is also the first consumer VR integrated machine in China to achieve this function.

In addition, the ability of eye interaction and eye tracking rendering is also realized by eye movement tracking technology. At present, through the multi-point calibration scheme developed by PICO, the average line-of-sight tracking accuracy and accuracy of PICO 4 Pro are less than 2 °and 0.5 °respectively. Thanks to its accurate and stable eye tracking ability, the PICO 4 Pro also has excellent performance in line-of-sight interaction and gaze rendering. For example, the user can select the target through the "line of sight", complete the "shooting" task, and feel the new play of line-of-sight interaction. Gaze rendering can reduce the GPU load. PICO official laboratory test data show that eye tracking rendering can increase the frame rate of 20-25 frames and reduce the GPU load by 5%, helping developers distribute the computing power of the device more reasonably.

The PICO 4 Pro uses a front and rear balance design to make it more comfortable to wear under uniform force; while reducing the volume of the head through the Pancake optical scheme, it is also equipped with binocular 4K + resolution and a 105-degree super large field of view angle. At the same time, in terms of memory and battery capacity, the PICO 4 Pro has also been upgraded to 512GB, twice the size of PICO 4, the memory specification has also been upgraded from LPDDR4x to LPDDR5, and the battery capacity has been increased to 6070mAh.

Along with the technology upgrade, PICO 4 Pro also includes PICO Avatar Editor 2.0, which adapts to new eye movement and facial tracking technologies, as well as three apps launched: "Light World", "Dreamland" and "Jigsaw Parade". The former can upgrade the experience by connecting to the Internet, while the latter requires users to log in to the PICO App Store to download the experience.

PICO Avatar Editor 2.0 is based on FT technology and has made many functional upgrades on the basis of the previous generation of applications. The new Avatar editor has a total of 24 items, more than 500 materials, covering hair, face, makeup, clothing and other dimensions, fully meet the needs of users for personalized customization of virtual images. "Light World" combined with facial tracking technology can also achieve face-pinching and expression interaction, such as looking in the mirror, users can record their own expressions at any time, and can also interact with other players emotionally in the 3D world.

"Dream Land" uses eye movement tracking to achieve a unique way of eye interaction. For example, the elves in the game can follow the changes in the user's line of sight to change the flight trajectory, and the breaking point of the cage will also avoid eye chase.

In addition, applications such as "Red substance 2", which have been launched, will be adapted to ETFR (Eye Tracked Foveated Rendering, line-of-sight tracking rendering) technology in the near future, through line-of-sight tracking to achieve dynamic gaze rendering, further optimize the image quality performance, and bring users a more natural and realistic visual experience.

In the future, ET / FT related technologies will be open to developers through the system SDK and other forms. When developing applications, developers can directly use the corresponding system assets and interaction capabilities of the technology, thereby reducing development and design costs, which also helps to create more new entertainment possibilities for users.

In terms of price, the PICO 4 Pro 8GB+512GB version sells for 3799 yuan, and the 8GB+512GB JD.com courtesy version set is priced at 3999 yuan.

In terms of content ecological construction, so far, the PICO App Store has launched more than 360 apps.

On April 17, the developer version of PICO somatosensory tracker was officially launched on the official PICO Mall. On April 20, the PICO self-developed rhythm music game "Flash Rhyme Lingland" adapted to the somatosensory tracker was officially launched. Users can dance and burn fat in the VR world. At the same time, the game also launched the UGC function, users can according to their own preferences DIY spectrum, record mixed reality (MRC) video.
