On May 10, 2021, Pico Interactive announced an extension to their Neo 3 line - the Pico Neo 3 Pro and Pico Neo 3 Pro Eye.

The enterprise options in the Neo 3 line have similar specs to the consumer-level [[Neo 3]]. They have the same Snapdragon XR2 processor, Wifi 6 capabilities, and 4 cameras to name a few. The Neo 3 is only available in China, whereas the 3 Pro and 3 Pro Eye will be available in the west. https://uploadvr.com/pico-neo-3-pro-eye/

The Neo 3 Pro and 3 Pro Eye can stream PC games through Direct Mode by way of a Displayport cable and the Pico VR streaming assistant. Direct Mode is "a high-performance, low-latency way to render PC VR content to Pico HMD display."

Like its predecessors, the Neo 3 line is counterbalanced by having the battery pack on the rear of the headset. Like the [[Pico Neo 2]] Eye, the Neo 3 Pro Eye also has eye tracking powered by the Swedish company Tobii.
