The '''PICO 4 Enterprise''' (also known as '''PICO 4E''') is a standalone [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[PICO]] (a [[ByteDance]] subsidiary), released in November 2022 for business and enterprise customers. It is the enterprise version of the [[Pico 4]], adding eye tracking with automatic motorized IPD adjustment, face tracking, and enhanced device management features for commercial deployments. The headset is designed for training, industrial applications, and location-based entertainment venues.
The '''Pico 4 Enterprise''' is a standalone enterprise [[virtual reality]] headset developed by [[Pico]] (a ByteDance subsidiary), released in late 2022 at €900 (~$950). Distinguished from the consumer Pico 4 by its gold front plate and three additional internal cameras, the Enterprise edition adds integrated eye tracking (2 cameras) and face tracking (1 camera) to enable advanced features like automatic motorized IPD adjustment—a first for standalone headsets—and facial expression capture for avatar animation. The headset features the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor with 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, displaying 2160 × 2160 resolution per eye (4320 × 2160 combined) on LCD panels through Pancake lenses with a 104° diagonal field of view at up to 90Hz refresh rate. Weighing just 295 grams without the strap (586g total, compared to Meta Quest Pro's 722g), the Pico 4 Enterprise uses five external cameras for 6DoF inside-out tracking and supports hand tracking, color passthrough, and PC VR streaming via WiFi 6. The enterprise pricing includes business warranty, business license, and priority support, significantly undercutting competitors like the HTC Vive Focus 3 (€1,400 + €360 for tracking add-ons) and Meta Quest Pro (€1,800). In 2024, Pico released the Pico 4 Ultra Enterprise with the newer Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor.

PICO launched the Pico 4 Enterprise approximately one month after the consumer Pico 4 in late 2022. The enterprise model was designed to address the needs of business customers requiring advanced tracking capabilities and device management tools. Unlike the Pico 4 Pro (China-only), the Enterprise model was made available globally for commercial purchasers.<ref name="ludusglobal">{{cite web |url=https://www.ludusglobal.com/en/blog/pico-4-enterprise-new-vr-headset-for-business |title=Pico 4 Enterprise: the new VR headset for business |publisher=Ludus Global |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>
