The PICO 4 Ultra Enterprise is a standalone mixed reality head-mounted display developed by PICO (a ByteDance subsidiary), released in September 2024. It is the enterprise-focused version of the Pico 4 Ultra, designed for business applications with enhanced management features, dual 32MP color passthrough cameras, and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity. The headset is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and offers 256 GB of storage for enterprise deployments.

History and Development

PICO announced the 4 Ultra Enterprise as the successor to the Pico 4 Enterprise, targeting business customers requiring advanced mixed reality capabilities. The headset became available on September 3, 2024, offering significant upgrades over the previous enterprise model including the newer XR2 Gen 2 processor with 250% GPU performance improvement, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and higher-resolution passthrough cameras.[1]

Notable is the decision to exclude eye tracking—a feature present in earlier enterprise models—to reduce costs while maintaining advanced mixed reality capabilities through the dual 32MP camera system and iToF depth sensor.[2]
