Covering Disruptive Technology Powering Business in The Digital Age

Following its global launch, the PICO 4 is now available in Malaysia. Blending sleek minimalist design and technology, PICO, a leading Virtual Reality (VR) brand with independent innovation and R&D creation capabilities, offers Malaysians a multitude of ways to build new connections, reimagine life experiences and unlock boundless potential.

With the growing adoption of technology, VR has gained widespread recognition and has become a growing trend in various industries such as gaming, fitness and entertainment among others. According to research, the VR market in Asia Pacific is expected to witness a strong growth of more than 20% in the next five years. The gaming and entertainment sector has also been witnessing a strong surge in the adoption of VR technology gears and interfaces for a more fulfilling and immersive user experience. This provides an opportunity for users to leverage the all-new PICO 4 to transport themselves into a new world where the experience is more immersive, accurate, and enjoyable as sensory components such as visuals, audio and haptics are heightened.

“We are excited to launch the PICO 4 in Malaysia,” said Allen An, Regional Director at PICO Southeast Asia. “Our mission is to connect people to a world of infinite possibilities and bring the virtual world to life, all within the comfort of wireless all-day play. With the PICO 4, users will be able to enjoy better comfort through a lighter body and balanced design, better picture with the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 processor, 4K+ level 90Hz display and pancake options that brings 105° ultra-wide field of view combined with 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) tracking and more entertainment with native 6DoF games and apps that can be found in the PICO Store.”

“As the first all-in-one VR headset to be officially introduced in the Malaysian market with a dedicated local team, official agents and mainstream retail partners, we strive to provide Malaysians with a VR experience like no other and to be able to drive the development of the VR industry in Malaysia bringing local audiences worldwide and on a journey to explore a world of infinite possibilities with VR,” he added.
