VR， I believe many people meditate on it. What kind of experience is it to wear it? But in the era of looking for beauty, good looks and excellent workmanship often become the primary judgment of a product's "good or bad". I hope this article can give you a comprehensive look at the latest Pico Neo DK (developer version).

Beautiful packaging

Pico Neo Packaging

Assembly score: ★★★☆

The grandeur and delicacy are my first impression of Pico Neo's packaging. On the front, a shuttle of simple words describes the product concept and product name. Although I don't see the product's pattern, the pure black and orange net structure achieves the style of a big factory. The product adopts orange black layered design style. The lower part describes the configuration and the upper part opens the package.

Unpacking the package, I can see the leather storage bag of product accessories that I am most satisfied with. The style is slightly round, and the whole black leather floor can play a very good role in decorating, harvesting the packaging storage bag, and protecting the body.

Try to open it, it will become the most beautiful and practical product storage bag I have ever seen, with two layers of velcro on the bottom and a net sticker on the top. It is worth noting that this leather bag also keeps the LOGO and "Image A new reality" described in the packaging box

In terms of accessories, I pay most attention to this handle. At first, I thought it was just a "game accessory". In fact, Pico Neo's design is a split all-in-one VR machine. In order to solve the problem of heating and head weight, the chip is designed on the handle, so the handle is the host.

The whole family has Pico Neo helmet * 1 Pico Neo handle host * 1 5V2A or 9V/2A BYD charging head * 1, membership card * 1, USB type-C interface data cable * 1, headband * 2, PC connection cable * 1, pin * 1 and lens cloth * 1.

Careful appearance

Start Pico Neo and fall in love immediately

Appearance score: ★★★☆

The first thing I saw about "Benzun" was that it looked like fashion. In this age of "simplicity", Pico Neo tried to feel this. The color selection was the orange black style we had seen in the packaging box. Instead of putting a logo on the front like other brands' products, it kept its own glass like surface, which was very beneficial to DIY. Unfortunately, it was easy to leave fingerprints on the surface.

Try to be "split and light", abandon heavy helmets, restore handle experience, ensure comfortable wearing and pursue touch experience. Isn't that the standard for us to choose VR? Of course, the lightweight host (handle) body also brings convenient and traditional handle design for charging, making Pico Neo's experience more innovative.

Handle host

Configuration: Snapdragon 820 2.2GHz

Hexagon 680 DSP

32G eMMC 5.1 ROM

4G LPDDR4-1866 RAM

5000mAh QC quick charge

Overall fine

The key stroke of the handle is comfortable. There is no loud sound when you press it down. People like me who have played with the handle since childhood can easily master it. The 220g weight plus the 160mm handle length is small and suitable for most people to use. In addition, you can directly take it away from the helmet for charging, which is convenient and good.

Different from the general handle, its key path is not far away, mainly for ease of use. Snapdragon 820 processor; EMMC memory; 4G flash memory; The 5000 mA battery can be controlled in such a small size when placed inside. Indeed, the mainframe is also a legend.

Back heat dissipation

Because of the built-in chip module, the handle will inevitably generate heat. The heat removal method of the host is the double row holes at the bottom, plus the matte plastic, so the heat is much lighter than that of the mobile phone, which reduces the heat effect when playing.

Smart interface

If Type-C, the flagship mobile phone application, is reasonable, Pico Neo has also adopted Type-C interface, and there are still two! The Type-C interface is placed on the upper part of the handle, and the original Type-C interface is added to the back to prevent falling off, which not only ensures the charging experience regardless of the positive and negative, but also completes the factors that are not easy to fall off in the process of wearing the head, so I say it is ingenious.

What's more, most VR resources are as light as hundreds of megabytes of memory space. The Micro SD card slot can also be opened behind this cute host to expand memory. First, it supplements memory space and second, it is convenient for storage between devices, which is relatively satisfactory.

Experience tradition

Despite the new ideas on Pico Neo, is it a qualified handle? The common LED power display has a moderate touch without stiffness. It takes some time to get used to the fact that there is no rocker and R key in order to maintain the 19mm thinness, but the handle host experience is still satisfactory.

Split helmet

3.81 "AMOLED

102°FOV

2K resolution of both eyes

0-800 ° myopia adjustment, supporting glasses

Pico Neo is covered with front and top films. As a "no film" person, I really enjoy the film tearing experience. The all-in-one VR Neo helmet is basically the same color as the handheld one. Interestingly, the front polished chamfer design is available on both the helmet and the handle.

In my opinion, the style homogenization of VR is also quite obvious. Most of the color matching is either black or white. As for Pico Neo's matte orange, I would like to affirm that it gives a fresh feeling. The LOGO is placed on the left, which is very reasonable.

Convenient layout

The position of the vision adjustment roller should be my favorite layout, which is basically easy to touch with one hand. Unfortunately, the rubber material has no mechanical sense like metal. The 0-800 degree myopia adjustment also solves the important problem of my 400 degree myopia.

The placement of the headset hole and the USB charging port will not affect the operation, making the experience even better.

Lightness, small burden, not easy to feel dizzy and uncomfortable. It solves the problem of VR experience "helmet affects experience". Pico Neo's helmet is no longer seriously affected by the weight and heat brought by the processor memory, and the light weight of 350g makes people feel comfortable with it.

Durable headband

After a period of use, the three-stage Velcro still keeps its appearance before unpacking, and repeated wearing does not affect its fit.

Different evaluation of wearing feeling

Boys │ comment: the helmet supports wearing glasses in data, so I tried the VR without taking off glasses. I felt that the VR could be seen clearly with glasses, but the comfort was not so good, and the glasses frame would not be too comfortable.

Then I tried to take off my glasses and experience a game similar to falling. Since the helmet was not too heavy, I didn't feel uncomfortable when I sat down to play. It was much lighter than the VR and HTC live helmets I had experienced before, so the split design was the most attractive place for me.

Girl │ Comment: This is my first experience of VR, and it will still disrupt my hair style. The comfort is good and there is no dizziness. The headband design is very convenient, and I can adjust it with one hand.

The comfort of the soft mask can be given at least 80 points if it is scored for comfort. The face is not very hot when wearing it, and the handle integrated with the chip will be less hot.

Pico Neo mask, a combination of soft silicone and soft cotton, gives excellent comfort, and the two sides of the headband are added with a lifting design, avoiding the ear so as not to cause ear pinch, and also brings a good fixing effect. After all, VR devices are sure to move around, and great efforts have been made in wearing them.

The Micro USB connector reserved for the helmet can be connected to the interactive input device. At present, the OTG function is supported. Therefore, the purpose of the developer version is to provide a platform for third-party interaction. Only with the access mode can it be developed.

It's foggy. It can't run away

Tight package brings comfortable experience, but it is undeniable that it will also bring about the problem of lens fogging when sweating. The best solution is to take it off and wipe it with lens cloth.

For me, playing VR must be worn by a group of brothers in turn, so the mask should be said to be one of the easiest places for product stains. It is also a velcro design, which can easily be removed and cleaned. Pico Neo may be the most convenient VR all-in-one machine I have ever experienced.

Conclusion

The split design may be the most comprehensive choice for all-in-one VR, Pico Neo's lightweight and fashionable color matching concept and the traditional handle change really meet the pursuit of VR experience of most people. The wearing feeling and parameters of the mask can be said to have reached a very high level. As a flagship VR, it also meets the performance, appearance, lightness and excellent experience. The unique highlight is the split design.

No matter how good the product is, it is hard to avoid the defects, which are closely related to the experience regrets such as fogging of lenses after playing for a long time, heavy handle and slight heat. However, compared with other VRs, these two experience defects are also insignificant.
