Excitement might be building for HTC Vive’s upcoming headset announcements tomorrow but before then Pico Interactive has just officially announced its new headsets for the western market, the Neo 3 Pro and Neo 3 Pro Eye. Both designed for business customers, they’re now available for pre-ordering with a launch taking place later in 2021.

While the standard Pico Neo 3 is a consumer-only headset exclusively available in China, the Neo 3 Pro and Neo 3 Pro Eye are very much enterprise solutions. They both feature 6 degrees of tracking (6DoF) and have the Snapdragon XR2 platform under the hood with 256GB of internal storage. There’s a single 5.5″ display with 3664×1920 resolution (boasting 773PPI) and a 90Hz refresh rate. Due to the assumption they’ll be used by multiple people in an office both headsets also have a replaceable PU face cushion that’s hygienic and easily washable.

Whether its content or hardware, there’s plenty going on in the virtual reality (VR) industry at the moment. Pico Interactive confirmed in March that a third-gen Pico Neo was on the way, followed by the first image of the all-in-one (AIO) headset last week. Today, Pico Interactive has shared another image and more importantly a few specifications for the Pico Neo 3.
Getting a nice side profile of the standalone headset the company has clearly gone for a rigid strap design, no headphones so the audio is piped through the arm and a fairly chunky rear head-mount to ensure the device isn’t going anywhere.
