Pico delays Space Pro mixed-reality headset to Q4 2026, cancels September 2 Beijing reveal

ByteDance's Pico had scheduled a September 2, 2026 Beijing event to unveil Space Pro (formerly 'Project Swan'), a roughly 270-gram headset with dual 4K Micro-OLED displays at about 4,000 PPI, a self-developed XR chip alongside a flagship SoC, and 12ms end-to-end passthrough latency positioned against Apple's Vision Pro. Pico cancelled that event about nine days beforehand and pushed the launch to Q4 2026, saying hardware and software had reached a high level of completion but that it wanted more time for a 'major upgrade' to the software experience; no price or confirmed regions have been announced.
