Nanlite has introduced the Pico, a compact, pocket-sized RGBW LED light weighing just 4.6 ounces, designed for content creators and mobile filmmakers. It features a powerful Nebula C4 engine with full RGBW output, a wide CCT range, high color fidelity, and versatile mounting options. The Pico offers up to 6.5 hours of battery life, built-in effects, and smart controls via Bluetooth app, all at an affordable price of $35.
ByteDance, the Chinese tech giant behind TikTok, is abandoning its plans to compete with Meta Platforms in the virtual reality headset market. ByteDance's subsidiary, Pico, is canceling the development of its next VR headset, the Pico 5, after disappointing sales of its previous model, the Pico 4. This decision reflects the overall weak demand in the VR market.
Chinese VR headset startup Pico, acquired by ByteDance (the company behind TikTok) in mid-2021, is reportedly laying off a significant number of employees, with thousands expected to be affected. Pico's workforce will be reduced to just "hundreds" compared to its peak of around 2000. The layoffs come after reports of sales not meeting expectations and "factional disputes" between original employees and new staff added by ByteDance. Pico's exclusive title, Just Dance VR, has yet to ship, and the company is shifting its content funding towards controller-free hand tracking. It remains to be seen if ByteDance will focus on competing with Apple Vision Pro rather than Meta Quest.
