🕶 Install the Warp VR app on your VR headset
Installing the Warp VR app on the Pico is easy:
- Take your Pico VR headset and navigate to the Pico Store. 🏪
- For Pico G2 headsets - search ‘Warp VR (Legacy version)’.
- For all other Pico headsets - search ‘Warp VR’.
- Click Install. ✅
- The app can now be found on your home screen.
⚠️ You need a Pico account in order to download apps from the Pico Store. Click here to create an account.
⚠️ We advise to NOT purchase the Pico G2 headsets due to the app not receiving updates anymore, except for security patches if needed.
⚠️ The Warp VR app is NOT supported on consumer Pico headsets, such as Pico Neo3 Link and Pico 4, because Pico doesn’t allow business apps to be installed on their consumer devices.
🔄 Sideloading on Pico (expert users only)
Sideloading allows you to install the app from an APK file.
👉 In general, we recommend this procedure only to expert users who know what they are doing and to users that have a real need to install the app this way. For most users, the best approach is to always install the app from the Pico store, where we always provide the latest available version.
