With the release of the PICO 4 Ultra, users are getting a VR headset packed with impressive upgrades. The newer version promises better visuals, enhanced performance, and improved comfort. Seems perfect for extended gaming sessions. But what about VR porn?
The DeoVR devs are working hard to fix the current issues. Until then, here are the key improvements for this device above the previous PICO models.
Key upgrades
The PICO 4 Ultra builds on the solid foundation of the PICO 4 but with some noticeable improvements:
- Faster Performance: The new Qualcomm XR2 Gen 2 chipset offers better rendering and smoother visuals. Combined with 12GB of internal memory, the device can handle complex VR environments effortlessly
- Visual Quality: The PICO 4 Ultra sticks with the same 105° field of view (FOV) as the PICO 4 but offers brighter and sharper visuals. Colors appear more vibrant, making for a more engaging experience
- Enhanced Comfort: The front-to-back weight distribution has been improved. The headset should now be more comfortable for longer sessions. It's especially important for SLR users who might want to spend hours in immersive VR
How does the PICO 4 Ultra improve your experience?
The visual clarity is a game-changer. On PICO 3 users sometimes notice the “screen door” effect (seeing individual pixels). The PICO 4 Ultra eliminates this issue.
The headset is ideal for users who want the best passthrough mode to interact with their surroundings without taking the headset off. While it doesn’t quite reach the level of the Meta Quest 3 in terms of AR features, the PICO 4 Ultra’s passthrough is still very usable for immersive scenes.
PICO 4 Ultra vs. PICO 3
If you’re coming from the PICO 3, the difference in visual quality and performance is night and day. Users who upgrade to the PICO 4 Ultra report that they no longer experience image distortion or the annoying “black hole” warping effect in the center of their vision. It was a common complaint with the PICO 3.
The PICO 4 Ultra’s field of view also remains broad enough to offer a more natural viewing experience than the slightly smaller FOV on the Meta Quest 3. This makes the PICO 4 Ultra a solid option if you prioritize visual immersion.
Performance and Passthrough: what are users saying
One of the standout features of the PICO 4 Ultra is its powerful processing for both video and passthrough (PT). The headset’s ability to render high-resolution content smoothly significantly benefits users. Thanks to the upgraded chip and memory, watching VR content in 8K or higher feels effortless, with no lag or stuttering.
Users in SLR forums have praised the PICO 4 Ultra for its better weight distribution compared to earlier models. Many report that they can enjoy longer sessions without the discomfort they experienced with older headsets.The rebalanced design makes the headsets feel more stable. Some users still prefer the Meta Quest 3 for its superior lenses, but the larger field of view and more comfortable fit of the Ultra make it the go-to choice for others.
Is the PICO 4 Ultra worth it for SLR users?
If you want to upgrade your VR headset to enhance your SLR experience, the PICO 4 Ultra offers some of the best visuals and comfort on the market. While it may not have the hand-tracking abilities or AR features of the Quest 3, the PICO 4 Ultra delivers in terms of quality - immersive visuals, sharp details, and ergonomic design.
For those still using a PICO 3, upgrading to the PICO 4 Ultra is definitely worth it. You’ll notice a significant improvement in both picture quality and comfort.
With sharper visuals, better weight distribution, and a wider field of view, the PICO 4 Ultra is one of the top choices for anyone serious about their VR porn experience.
