Under the epidemic situation, travel is inconvenient, home entertainment has become the first choice for most people's holidays, and it is at the time of the "meta-universe" that is popular, and the VR all-in-one machine has become a hot food on e-commerce, whether it is game social networking or film and television entertainment. However, the current market of VR devices is dazzling, while bringing more choices to consumers, but also let many users in the hands of products into confusion.
So today, the acceleration brings you two domestic VR all-in-one machines with good performance, namely iQiyi Adventure 3 and Pico neo3, both of which are flagship products of their respective brands, and the release time is not long. Next, we will compare the experience from the four sections of appearance, game, video and other settings to see who performs better.
▶ Appearance and its details are compared
For the appearance performance, acceleration has made a more detailed experience for the two products, including the visual sensory effect of the fuselage, the wearing effect and the operation details. (In the picture below, the left is: iQiyi Adventure 3, and the right is: Pico neo3)

From the overall comparison point of view, iQIYI Adventure 3 and Pico neo3 design are biased towards simplicity, the fuselage is mainly composed of black, white, gray three colors, smooth and integrated round lines, in terms of visual senses, the first impression of the two products is good.
iQiyi Adventure 3
Further hands-on wearing experience of the product, the difference between the two is actually very obvious. From the actual experience, iQIYI Adventure 3 is better than Pico neo3, and the former is better than the latter in terms of convenience of wearing.
The main reason for this gap is the different head structure design of the two products. Among them, iQIYI Adventure 3 is directly through the adjustment of the headband adjustment knob and can quickly find the best force point, while Pico neo3 needs to adjust the left and right sides of the bandage, from the perspective of wearing time alone, the author still prefers the convenient adjustment method of iQIYI Adventure 3.
Pico neo3
In addition, the weight of the fuselage (mainly the pressed surface part) also affects the wearing experience, compared to the Pico neo3, which weighs 395g, iQIYI Adventure 3 controls the weight of the fuselage within the range of 340g, which is relatively friendly to users who use it for a long time.
For the people wearing glasses, iQIYI Adventure 3 and Pico neo3 have been optimized. The former uses left and right temple avoidance and rotatable temple design to cover more people, while the latter supports most standard glasses smaller than 160mm.
Of course, as for other operating experiences, it is reflected in some of the button layouts of the fuselage and the matching handles. First of all, from the structural layout, we can see that iQIYI Adventure 3, whether it is a power button or a volume key, is larger than the Pico neo3 in the contact area, when wearing the use of two products, the author found that the various buttons of iQIYI Adventure 3 are more likely to be blindly touched. This difference is relatively subtle, and the difference between the two can only be discovered after the actual hand experience.
As for the matching handle operation, for most users, the difference between the use of the two products is not large in terms of grip and sensitivity. Of course, if you belong to users with small palms, the author still recommends using the 6DF controller of iQIYI Adventure 3, and iQIYI still uses the self-developed head hand 6DoF technology, and the threshold is relatively higher.
Comparison summary: Only from the appearance point of view, iQIYI Adventure 3 and Pico neo3 are optimized for the current consumer wearing habits, but to say who is more appropriate, the author believes that iQIYI Adventure 3 will have more advantages.
▶ Game comparison
Due to the addition of 3D simulation scenes, the use of VR all-in-one machines to play games has been loved by many consumers. Especially in recent years, with the increase in demand, users are constantly putting forward higher requirements for VR all-in-one machines. On the one hand, the fluency of hardware configuration and operation experience, on the other hand, the richness of ecological resources. On these two points alone, how do the two products perform?
Adventure 3 built-in gameplay
Pico neo3 game
First of all, in terms of game resources, iQIYI's investment in VR equipment can be said to be huge, in terms of this iQIYI Adventure 3, all 30 high-quality games that will be launched will be open to the first owner for free, and their types cover trend leisure, hardcore fever, parent-child puzzles, the official claim that the total value of the game is more than 1700 yuan, and the operation of the white prostitute is indeed very good. You know, the single price of these games on other platforms is often tens or even hundreds. In addition, Adventure 3 also promises to launch free-to-play games every month in the future, and will distribute benefits to the end.
At this time, in contrast, Pico neo3, although it also has free game resources, but the number is only 16. In particular, the joint sales strategy of buying the Pioneer Edition to get 10 free games is theoretically a preferential treatment for players, but in fact it is also a way to commercialize the game. However, from the overall number of games in the app store, Pico is still richer.
In terms of game resources, we can see that iQIYI has enough sincerity. As for the hardware configuration, both products are equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chips, which support WiFi 6, and the storage of the basic version is 128GB. However, in terms of storage, iQiyi Adventure 3 is equipped with 8GB, and Pico neo3 is only 6GB. In addition, in terms of screen quality, although both products support a refresh rate of 90Hz, iQIYI Adventure 3 can also play 8K-level film and television resources with a 60FPS frame rate in addition to a 4K-level HD display, which is compared with Pico neo3 that simply supports 4K displays, and iQIYI Adventure 3 can make the experience more comprehensive.
Based on the above soft and hard configuration, who will be the pioneer of the two products in the specific operation experience? Let's look at the performance through the specific game experience.
iQIYI Adventure 3 game experience
Professional Ping Pong VR
"Professional Table Tennis VR" is very simple to get started, after matching the opponent, swing the handle and can operate the table tennis racket, in the actual experience process, the handle control of the table tennis racket is very smooth, can teleport to catch the ball, like the author of the first use of the user, can completely do the state of winning.
Crisis action
As for the "Crisis Action Team" game, it is a more similar to the "Super Legion" FPS competitive game, most of the time after completing the teleportation, the operation of the handle of the trigger and can quickly kill the opponent, especially the low latency and control of the control accuracy, iQiyi Adventure 3 brings a really pleasant experience.
Silent VR
The "Silent VR" game, after moving the light and can quickly switch the movement of the character, in this process put forward higher requirements for the refresh rate of the screen. From the perspective of specific operation experience, the picture of iQIYI Adventure 3 basically has no obvious sense of blurring, and the actual transition switch is very smooth.
Pico neo3 gaming experience
VR cuts the square
Similarly, the author has also conducted a variety of game experiences for Pico neo3, in which the game mechanism of VR cutting blocks is a double controller allusion double lightsaber, which breaks the bricks by constantly swinging to pass the level, which requires very high latency and control accuracy. During the operation, the overall performance of the Pico Neo 3 is still very stable.
Mini games
The mini-game experience, which eliminates colliding triangles by moving the gamepad, is a major test of the device's latency, and the Pico Neo 3's performance remains satisfactory.
Legendary Hunter VR
Legendary Hunter VR game is also a relatively simple and rough FPS game, in the actual operation experience, Pico Neo 3 will delay, ectopic, operation accuracy and jitter and other situations are handled in place, for novice users, it is relatively friendly to use.
Game Summary: For VR games, before that, the author was completely basic, but after experiencing iQiyi Adventure 3 and Pico Neo 3, I instantly felt that I could also be called a master, and the speed of getting started was very fast. Overall, the two VR all-in-one machines gave me a very good gaming experience.
Audio-visual comparison
Pico Neo 3
Like games, audio and video also have to examine the content resources of the equipment, and through comparison, it is found that due to the strong iQIYI content resource library, iQIYI Adventure 3 has the latest and most complete film and television content.
As for Pico Neo 3, it is relatively weak in film and television resources, and it needs to download third-party film and television platforms to play videos. In other words, consumers choose Pico Neo 3 to pay for games and movies.
As for the screen experience, iQIYI Adventure 3 and Pico Neo 3 both have virtual theater environments, of which iQIYI Adventure 3 provides a 2000-inch screen, supports HDR high dynamic light rendering, can show thousands of delicate colors, making the image details more rich and natural. The Pico Neo 3 provides a 3000-inch screen, both of which are very shocking in real time, compared to the general mobile phone and other display devices, it is indeed much better.
iQiyi Adventure 3 4K picture quality
Pico Neo 3 4K quality
Specific to the actual playback effect, iQIYI also provides 4K 3D movies and 8K panoramic videos with up to 13M streams for Adventure VR, with a maximum frame rate of up to 60FPS, and the image quality of the film source is industry-leading. The Pico Neo 3, on the other hand, only supports quality sources up to 4K. Therefore, even if the Pico Neo 3 has a certain advantage in terms of screen size publicity, it is still regrettable that it cannot support higher quality film sources.
Comparison of other aspects
In addition to the two major sectors of games and audio and video, enhancing the humanized experience is also the direction of the current VR all-in-one machine. This is something that iQiyi Adventure 3 and Pico Neo 3 both do well.
Functions such as virtual wall function, wired and wireless streaming, screen projection, multi-person theater and other functions can be experienced in both products. Therefore, in terms of other multi-functional performance, as the two mainstream brands in the current domestic market, iQiyi and Pico are at the forefront of the industry.
Summary of overall comparisons
Through the above comparison, the author made a comparison table for appearance, game, audio and video, etc., and the single score is a rating table of 5 points, and you can see in the table what aspects of your purchase weight.
Judging from the overall evaluation results, iQIYI Adventure 3 and Pico Neo 3 have made a lot of improvements to the major pain points of the current VR all-in-one machine. The first is the comfort of wearing, both devices are outstanding, but in terms of the convenience of wearing, the author prefers this adjustment knob of iQiyi Adventure 3. The second is the game performance, both products are equipped with gamepads, in terms of latency and sensitivity of operation, iQIYI Adventure 3 and Pico Neo 3 are considered to be the leaders in the industry, especially the new products of iQIYI Adventure 3, as well as the benefits of the first owner to play 30 games for free, which is also a real consideration of the actual needs of users.
As for the final film and television performance, compared to Pico Neo 3, iQIYI Adventure 3 is naturally more comprehensive due to its powerful iQIYI content library. In addition, iQiyi also provides 4K 3D movies with up to 13M streams and 8K panoramic video with a maximum frame rate of up to 60FPS for Adventure VR, which is also relatively inferior to the Pico Neo 3.
