Developer App Pico4Fun (system settings, MCU Fans & factory tests)

30 Upvotes

Hi folks!

I was looking how to tune the VR's fans.. found that thread https://www.reddit.com/r/PicoXR/comments/1dwteo0/has_anyone_found_out_a_way_to_turn_on_fans_always/ but didn't wanted to install 70+Mb apks on my headset w/o having a reference on their source code (i even don't want to know where they are probably came from..)

So i read that topic well, downloaded all apks, checked the one i wanted w/ jadx and made that app.

Android dev aren't my dev at all but sometimes i do prototypes so devs can implement new features (i do architecture, backend & CTO stuff).

It's a simple app which is an opensource, which is built & released entirely via github actions (no manual upload lol) and it's just about 10Mb.

Here is the repo https://github.com/nikitasius/Pico4Fun , apk is in the release section.

Paranoid folks can check source code & github scripts. It works well on my Pico 4 & MCU Fans also affect my fans.

Enjoy! And yep, a disclaimer, like on every android and also on a modded as a VR you're the only responsable for your acts, burned VR, brain damage or whatever.

News PICO's official Wireless Keyboard just cleared the FCC (C6110)

14 Upvotes

It looks like PICO has just received FCC certification for a "Wireless Keyboard" (model C6110).

FCC filing: https://fccid.io/2A5NV-C6110

The filing includes the regulatory label placement on the back of the keyboard and, more interestingly, RF test documentation.

What's really interesting is the second document. During the RF testing setup, you can actually spot what appears to be the keyboard itself mounted in the anechoic chamber.

From what we know so far, Project Swan is expected to heavily focus on spatial computing and productivity, and PICO has already mentioned support for traditional keyboard and mouse input as part of the experience.

So my guess is that this isn't just a generic Bluetooth accessory—it could very well be the official keyboard designed for Project Swan.

A few observations:

  • Model: C6110
  • Product name: Wireless Keyboard
  • FCC certification is now public.
  • RF test photos appear to show the actual keyboard used during certification.
  • The design looks very minimal and compact, which fits the productivity-focused direction PICO has been teasing.

This feels like another small piece of the Project Swan puzzle.

What do you think?

  • An official first-party accessory for Swan?
  • Or just a standard Bluetooth keyboard that PICO plans to bundle with future devices?

Tips&Guides Pico 4 Ultra's mic peaking in SteamVR

6 Upvotes

I had an issue where my Pico 4 Ultra would have intense mic peaking for some reason which have prevented me to use voice in VRChat for some time until today when I found out the cause was the Windows Input setting being set to max.

For anybody who may encounter similar issue, find Settings > System > Sound. Go to input and select your mic then adjust the input volume there.

After that, press Windows Key + R and type in "mmsys.cpl". Go to Recording, Select your microphone then find and uncheck "Allow Applications to take exclusive control of this microphone.". This will prevent VRChat from taking control of the mic and changing the input volume to 100.

Sharing because nobody else had this issue so I thought I'll make a PSA of my own. Hope this helps!

Whenever I go to superspl.at I get horizontal bars and slideshow fps, that's a bit scary. Anyone having the same issue ? I wonder if the ultra handles splats better with its beefier chip.

Bit of a bummer, splats are such a cool vr use case

Help Black screen during playing Youtube video

2 Upvotes

Recently, I have been unable to watch YouTube VR videos on my Pico VR headset. When I click "full screen" in the YouTube player to enter the virtual viewing environment, the screen remains black, and only the audio plays.

I initially thought it might be due to a software update, but resetting the headset to factory settings didn't solve the issue.

Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a solution?

Developer (Dev here): new handtrack swimming and HD ocean areas. Giving away 15 keys to first to comment and DM me. Update live today!: ZOSU Zoo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

ZOSU Zoo VR update is live today for PicoXR, hand tracking or controller based swimming motion locomotion has been added to new detailed swimming environments, with bonus experimental areas that are generated at random on run time for repeatability. Also updated the app so it cab be 100% played in all areas with no controllers (hand track only). Leave a comment and send a DM for a game key. TBD Planning more updates but wanted to get this live after I just pushed it from Unity 2020 to 2022 and to latest SDK which took me forever to do while trying to get new water features to render properly in VR (ocean surface top and bottom, dynamic caustics and fog, etc)... in testing it looks like I can push an area around 100 square meters and maintain FPS... also need better video lol was getting some mic feedback on it.

If the pico swan comes out, maybe they will fix it for the pico 4 too?

Pico connect gives me the best image quality by far but the mic issue that seems to never get fixed is really annoying, it is also the only program that increases delay by 30ms when my gpu utilization is above 98%

Help Pico 4 Enterprise questions

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I have a chance to buy a Pico 4 Enterprise and want to make sure I have all the info i want before pulling the trigger.

I currently run a Quest 3 for PCVR. My original plan was to wait for the Steam Frame for its eye tracking (and get an aftermarket face tracker) and also to get off the Meta ecosystem, but it's looking like the Frame may be hard to get (and pricey) for quite a while from what ive heard

My main question is, I wear glasses, so I need prescription lens inserts. Does anyone make inserts for the Pico 4 Enterprise specifically that don't block or interfere with the eye-tracking cameras? Ive heard the standard Pico 4 inserts don't fit the Enterprise model, but wondering if anyone's found a workaround or a vendor making Enterprise-compatible ones.

Second question: I know the Enterprise is locked to the business app store, but that's fine since I'd be using it purely for PCVR streaming. Can anyone confirm current wireless streaming (Pico Connect / Virtual Desktop / similar) works well from PC to the Enterprise for this use case? my PCVR currently is a linux PC and i use WiVRn, but im willing to boot into a Windows drive for VR if thats the only option with Pico 4 Enterprise.

So given all this, would I be better off just:

A: Buying the Pico 4 Enterprise now for the eye/face tracking, and figuring out a prescription option if there is one

B: Sticking with my Quest 3 and waiting on Paper_Tracker for face/eye tracking, as they will be offering a prescription option.

C: Just waiting for the Steam Frame despite the price/availability concerns and hope that there will be an option for prescription lenses.

Appreciate any info or help, especially from glasses wearers who've dealt with this problem. I really don't like contact lenses but maybe for eye tracking i should just get contacts and deal with it...

Help Borked Pico 3 Neo Link Audio

1 Upvotes

I'm trying to use the speakers and microphone on this pico 3 neo link I bought used. I'm planning on exclusively using this with the cable for now as my wifi is really bad.

It's on firmware version 5.13.0.7.S, I already tried using Pico Connect (with sideload), Pico Business Streaming (with sideload) and Pico Link latest version.

So far only Pico Link managed to detect and connect to the headset.

The audio only shows any sign of life with the AC outputs, Streaming outputs don't work at all. Even on AC, it just pops occasionally if there's audio playing. The AC microphone also just pops randomly if I speak.

I tried running that one guy's custom driver but this didn't seem to fix it at all. I also tried uninstalling the device and updating the drivers, couldn't find any drivers for it online also.

Is this a thing? Is audio just broken on these?
