Now, the company\u2019s next flagship standalone XR headset just cleared the FCC.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Previously known as \u2018Project Swan\u2019, Pico Space Pro has now surfaced in <a href=\"https:\/\/fccid.io\/2A5NV-AA1Z0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FCC filings<\/a>, which is typically one of the last hurdles before a company can commercialize electronics in the US. The news was first reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uploadvr.com\/pico-space-pro-appears-to-receive-fcc-certification-following-delay-to-q4\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">UploadVR<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the event, which was supposed to take place on September 2nd in Beijing, we were hoping to see a more complete spec sheet, as well as learn the price and release date. That said, much is already known about the device, which is referred to in the filings as a \u2018Mixed Reality Computer\u2019. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"464\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/pico-project-swan.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-227772\"  \/>Leaked \u2018Project Swan\u2019 render | Courtesy Luna<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Space Pro is set to include microOLED displays boasting 4,000 pixels per inch (PPI), an average ~40 pixels per degree (PPD), and a dual-chip architecture: a custom XR silicon for perception and imaging (claimed ~12 ms perception latency) and separate flagship SoC with \u201cmore than 2\u00d7 CPU and GPU performance vs XR2 Gen 2.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pico hasn\u2019t specified exactly when it plans on rescheduling Space Pro\u2019s reveal, although the company says we should expect launch sometime in Q4 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Although the company maintains the delay was to \u201cspend more time on a major upgrade to the software experience,\u201d the timing suggests Space Pro may also be affected by the global component shortage, which has not only seen RAM and storage prices skyrocket, <a href=\"https:\/\/roadtovr.com\/qualcomm-raises-chips-steam-frame-price\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">reportedly now Qualcomm SoCs<\/a> too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As it is, Pico seems to be taking a slower, more deliberate approach to launch though. When it cancelled the device\u2019s reveal (just one week before the actual event), the company announced it was instead expanding its \u2018Global Early Access Program\u2019 closed beta to a number of hand-picked testers, which includes sending pre-production units and software to applicants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pico Space Pro isn\u2019t only set to compete against Apple Vision Pro, but also Samsung\u2019s Galaxy XR headset\u2014the first to run Google\u2019s Android XR processing system\u2014in addition to <a href=\"https:\/\/roadtovr.com\/?s=steam+frame\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Valve\u2019s Steam Frame<\/a>, which still doesn\u2019t have a price or release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Pico\u2019s upcoming Apple Vision Pro competitor, Space Pro, was initially meant to debut earlier this month, although the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":618490,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[61,60,80,210,211,212],"class_list":["post-618489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-virtual-reality","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology","tag-virtual-reality","tag-virtualreality","tag-vr"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/618489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/618490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=618489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=618489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
