The '''Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye''' is a standalone [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Pico Interactive]]. Released in 2021 at $900, the Neo 3 Pro Eye combines the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 platform with Tobii eye tracking, positioning itself as a direct competitor to the Oculus Quest 2 Business Edition and HTC Vive Focus 3 in the enterprise VR market. The device features a high-resolution display, Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, and support for both standalone operation and PC VR streaming.<ref name="roadtovr">{{cite web|url=https://www.roadtovr.com/pico-neo-3-pro-eye-release-date-price/|title=Pico Launches Neo 3 Pro & Neo 3 Pro Eye, Serving up Strong Competition to Oculus & HTC|publisher=Road to VR}}</ref>
The '''Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye''' is a standalone enterprise [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Pico Interactive]], released in 2021 at approximately $900 for enterprise customers. As the enterprise variant of the Neo 3 series and successor to the Pico Neo 2 Eye, the Neo 3 Pro Eye combines the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor with integrated Tobii eye tracking technology optimized specifically for the XR2 platform, enabling advanced features like dynamic foveated rendering that can increase frame rates by up to 78% and extend battery life by 10%. The headset features a high-resolution 3664 × 1920 LCD display (773 PPI) with 98° field of view, 8GB RAM, 256GB storage, 6DoF inside-out tracking via four wide-angle cameras, and both wireless Wi-Fi 6 and wired DisplayPort PC VR streaming capabilities. Designed for enterprise applications including multi-user training, simulation, remote collaboration, and analytics, the Neo 3 Pro Eye represented Pico's flagship enterprise offering before the company's acquisition by ByteDance and the transition to the Pico 4 series.
 
'''Note: The Pico Neo 3 Pro and Neo 3 Pro Eye have been discontinued as Pico has transitioned to the Pico 4 series.'''
