The PICO Neo 3 is a standalone virtual reality (VR) headset developed by PICO Immersive, a division of ByteDance. It was released on May 10, 2021, and is the predecessor of the PICO 4.

History

On April 7, 2021, PICO Immersive announced it was developing its next VR headset after being purchased by ByteDance. PICO stated that the PICO Neo 3 would be designed for enterprise, commercial, and professional applications. PICO said that it would also rival the Meta Quest 2.

It was released originally in Asia, followed by a strict launch in Europe in certain markets such as Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands, and the UK.

Western enterprise focus

Upon its initial reveal, PICO aimed the PICO Neo 3 specifically at the enterprise market in the West. Following the success of the PICO Neo 3, PICO released other models of the PICO Neo 3, such as the PICO Neo 3 Link, PICO Neo 3 Pro, and PICO Neo 3 Pro Eye, specifically aimed at Western countries such as some parts of Europe and North America.

Legacy and successors

The Pico Neo 3 boosted Pico's presence outside of Asia. The software, operating system, and hardware learnings from the PICO Neo 3 helped shape its successor, the PICO 4, which was revealed on September 22, 2022, and released on October 18, 2022.
