The '''Pico G2 4K''' is a standalone [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Pico Interactive]]. Unveiled at CES 2019, the G2 4K was Pico's first VR headset featuring a 4K display with all-in-one functionality. The device targets enterprise applications with features like Kiosk Mode and disposable faceplates, while also serving consumer entertainment needs through its Pico Store and HTC Viveport M compatibility.<ref name="uploadvr">{{cite web|url=https://www.uploadvr.com/ces-pico-g2-4k-vr-headset/|title=CES 2019: Pico Reveals Standalone G2 4K VR Headset|publisher=UploadVR}}</ref>
The '''Pico G2 4K''' is a standalone [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Pico Interactive]], announced at CES in January 2019 and released in 2019 at a price of $299. As the world's first all-in-one VR headset with a 4K display, the Pico G2 4K featured an impressive 3840 × 2160 total resolution (1920 × 2160 per eye) with 818 PPI and RGB stripe subpixels, delivering exceptional clarity for media consumption, enterprise applications, and educational content. Despite being limited to 3DoF tracking (rotation only, no positional tracking), the G2 4K excelled in its primary use cases of video viewing, virtual tours, and stationary VR experiences where its 4K resolution provided a significant advantage over 2K competitors. At just 278 grams with the innovative rear-mounted battery design for improved weight distribution, the Pico G2 4K demonstrated that high-resolution standalone VR could be both affordable and comfortable.
