Pico Interactive announce standalone Neo 2 VR headsets

Pico Interactive has announced that new VR headsets from the Pico Neo line are now available. Both the Neo 2 and Neo 2 Eye have been developed to deliver key VR solutions to the enterprise market and are built with business in mind.

Standalone Neo 2 VR headsets from Pico feature 4K resolution, enterprise functionality with six degrees of freedom and built-in spatial stereo speakers. The headsets are equipped with a comfortable and hygienic PU face interface and a unique counterbalanced design for extended use. They also claim to offer abundant space for users who wear prescription glasses and are powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 Mobile Platform with Boundless XR.

Pico has partnered with Tobii in the Neo 2 Eye version, which adds eye-tracking functionality to its base model. Eye-tracking should allow businesses to increase productivity and safety at work, as well as help to provide a better understanding of customer behaviour and increase training efficiency.

“It is fantastic to partner closely with Pico on the extraordinary Neo 2 Eye and to enable enterprise and professional users to unlock greater operational efficiency, provide powerful user insights, enhancing training, simulation and product development capabilities,” said Anand Srivatsa, Division CEO of Tobii Tech.

To help increase framerates, graphics fidelity and battery performance, the Neo 2 Eye includes dynamic foveated rendering powered by Tobii Spotlight Technology to reduce shading load in some applications by up to 72%. Additionally, Pico has partnered with other companies such as Mozilla to bring Firefox Reality Browser to its VR headsets to provide a more engaging work environment, something that the company feels is needed even more so with the current COVID-19 pandemic.

The Pico Neo 2 VR headset series is available to purchase now directly from Pico, with the Neo 2 priced at $699 and the Neo 2 Eye costing $899.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
