3D Models for Pico VR

Pico VR headsets run Pico OS (Android XR-based) and support all formats usable within the development engines that target the platform. The primary workflow formats are: GLB/GLTF (the recommended format for Unity's Universal Render Pipeline and XR Interaction Toolkit, and for WebXR via visionOS/SteamVR browser), FBX (for rigged and animated characters in Unity and Unreal Engine's OpenXR mode), OBJ (for static scene props, environment objects, and multi-material assets). Pico SDK for Unity extends Unity's standard XR plugin framework — any 3D asset that loads in Unity will work in a Pico VR build. WebXR content running in Pico's built-in browser supports GLB natively via A-Frame, Babylon.js, or three.js.

The Pico 4 uses a Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor — approximately 60% faster GPU than Pico Neo 3's XR2 Gen 1. Recommended polygon budgets for 90fps rendering: hero interactive objects (within arm's reach) 5,000–50,000 triangles; secondary scene objects 1,000–10,000 triangles; background decoration 100–2,000 triangles; complete scene total 200,000–600,000 triangles. For complex enterprise scenes (architectural walkthroughs, training environments), use LOD (Level of Detail) to swap high-detail assets for lower-detail versions as camera distance increases. Pico 4 Pro (with eye tracking) can leverage foveated rendering — reducing GPU load outside the center gaze area — allowing total scene budgets up to 800,000 triangles while maintaining 90fps.

In Unity with Pico's Platform SDK: install the Pico Unity Integration SDK from Unity Package Manager or the Pico developer portal. Import your GLB file into the Unity Assets folder — Unity converts it automatically to a mesh asset. Alternatively, use UnityGLTF package (available on OpenUPM) for runtime GLB loading without pre-import. Add your mesh to a GameObject in the scene, configure its Transform for scale and position in VR space (Pico's default unit is meters — STL files at mm scale need a 0.001 scale factor). Under XR Interaction Toolkit, add XR Grab Interactable to objects users should be able to pick up. Build for Android targeting Pico's API level using the standard Android build target in Unity.

Pico and Meta Quest use the same Android XR architecture and both support OpenXR — most Unity and Unreal Engine VR projects target both platforms with minimal changes by using the OpenXR abstraction layer. Pico VR is dominant in China and growing in European enterprise markets; Meta Quest leads consumer VR in the US and Western markets. Key technical differences: Pico 4 uses Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 (same as Quest 3), Pico Neo 3 uses XR2 Gen 1 (closer to Quest 2); controller models differ and require separate controller prefabs/assets; Pico's passthrough color cameras differ in resolution from Quest's. For 3D asset sourcing, the same GLB/FBX assets work on both platforms — no platform-specific asset format differences.

Yes — most Proofly models include a Commercial license covering use in published enterprise VR applications: workplace training simulations, architectural visualization tours, virtual showrooms, and education platforms running on Pico VR headsets. The Extended license covers redistributable applications (i.e., you sell or license the application to clients who can use it on their Pico headsets without additional per-seat asset fees). For B2B VR applications deployed at scale (1,000+ headset deployments), check whether you need an Extended license or a custom enterprise agreement — contact the creator directly via Proofly's chat feature.
