TikTok sister company to compete with Oculus Quest 2 VR headset in EU

📱

TikTok’s sister company’s new contender for the best VR headset crown is heading to Europe, where it could go head-to-head with the Oculus Quest 2. Announced at the virtual reality showcase Laval Virtual 2022, the Pico Neo 3 will be released in Germany, France, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK, following its release in Asia last year.

While the Neo 3 Link will cost a chunk more than Meta’s current-generation headset for VR, it comes with a 3664×1920 screen and could even make the rumored Oculus Quest 2 Pro worth the money.

Pico Interactive, the company behind the Pico Neo 3, was acquired by TikTok’s parent company, ByteDance, in 2021. However, the company has released various VR headsets over the years, with the original Pico Neo debuting in 2016 (via UploadVR). In other words, the company is following a similar path to Meta, as the social media giant uses Oculus as a ticket into VR.

Whether the Pico Neo 3 will launch in the U.S. is up for grabs, but its European presence could help shake up the VR scene. The Oculus Quest 2 still tops Steam, but data from March suggests users are flocking to alternatives like the Valve Index.

With the release of next-gen headsets like the Oculus Quest 3 and Project Cambria, the Meta’s off-hand in the market may tighten. However, if it decides not to launch its updated Oculus Quest 2 Pro device at the upcoming Meta Showcase, then devices like the Pico Neo 3 Link could eat into its large share of the VR market.
