Pico 5 Leaks
The leaks about the Pico 5 headset are intensifying, and following on from the design of the future controllers, we now have much more information about the range and technical specifications of the 5th generation Pico headsets. The Chinese company intends to make its mark on the virtual reality market, and is showing off a range of products that is quite bewildering.
The leak comes from China, of course, and takes the form of a table of detailed technical specifications for each model of headset. Here are the characteristics of the headsets:

Rumours but an opportunistic leak for Pico
If the specs are confirmed, the Pico 5 looks to have excellent potential, especially the Pico 5 Pro Max, which appears to be a hybrid between a standalone and a wired one (Direct DisplayPort connection) with mixed reality functionality via its colour Passthough cameras, and its huge resolution of 3840 x 3840 pixels.
Even if these are just rumours, the leak seems well timed and perhaps deliberate on Pico's part to get the word out ahead of the release of the Meta Quest 3 in early October.
