PicoVR new product reveals another big message: or is there a big move in the field of VR fitness?
In recent years, the field of VR has become a must for all major manufacturers. According to the IDC report, global AR / VR head shipments reached 11.23 million units in 2021, an increase of 92.1% over the same period last year. In the face of a huge market, in order to break through, in addition to VR's own hardware innovation, content ecology is also an important breakthrough. After all, content is the core driver of the imagination of VR's virtual world.
In the VR content ecology, exercise and fitness is one of the important scenes. The American Heart Association has recommended that people do 150 minutes of moderate aerobics or 75 minutes of strenuous aerobic exercise a week. VRHI researchers believe that VR fitness is enough to achieve this goal, and at the same time, you can also get a game experience.
Since it was incorporated into byte beat, the content ecological construction of Pico has attracted much attention from the industry. For example, Pico has set up a distribution division in North America, Pico Studios, which mainly introduces high-quality VR games and applications for its 6DoF platform. In addition, Pico has also partnered with Disney, Sony Pictures, Universal, Paramount and Lion Gate.
Following the exposure of the Pico new product handle and product parameter configuration, some media recently released Reuters photos of suspected Pico new products, and products similar to sports rings appeared in the pictures. This may be an accessory product created to cooperate with VR fitness to achieve better motion capture and positioning. However, whether the product will be launched at the same time as the new Pico4 series has not been officially confirmed.
At the same time, from the previous exposure of the configuration, Pico 4 will adopt pancake optical scheme, this technology will greatly reduce the volume of the head, reduce the burden on the user's head and neck, these upgrades can indeed provide a better hardware foundation for VR movement, but the actual experience still needs to be tested by the market after the product is on the market.
The recent successive exposures have also made us look forward to the new products of Pico. And frankly speaking, as the VR all-in-one brand with the highest market share in China, Pico which incorporates bytes not only has more resource support, but also does have greater market opportunities and first-mover advantages. So if Pico comes out with sports accessories, will you try to use VR to keep fit?
