This week at the Laval Virtual conference taking place in Espace Mayenne, France, between April 12 to 14, Pico announced the G3 VR headset. The firm purpose-built the new device for enterprise end-users.
Oliver Wöhler, the Enterprise Lead for EMEA at Pico, noted that the G3 VR headset highlights the firm’s vision to provide enterprise end-users with immersive tools for growing a business, creating new opportunities, and achieving workplace goals.
The Bytedance-owned firm lists the G3 VR headset for pre-order, costing £399. The firm will ship the product in early May.

In the Pico Business Store, G3 operators can access applications suitable for vertical markets, including tools for collaboration, education, and healthcare settings.
Is the Pico Metaverse Coming?
Late last year, the firm announced Project Pico Worlds, a Metaverse platform and direct competitor to Meta’s Horizon.
Currently, Pico Worlds is available for Pico 4 headset owners. On the service, users could create a vast range of RT3D content, from houses to small cities or cars to rockets, for distribution across the Metaverse platform.
Moreover, Pico is integrating social media technology from its parent firm Bytedance taking its immersive social aspect further using an immersive version of TikTok, allowing Pico users to share a Metaverse session and upload a VR reel via the social platform.
