How do I install APK files on the Pico Neo 3 Enterprise/Pro (Eye) headset?

Installing APK files allows you to add applications outside of the Pico Store, particularly in a professional, business, or training setting. This method is commonly used to deploy business applications, test versions, or internal content.

1. Enable the necessary options on the headset

Before installing any APKs:

1. Go to Settings and select “General”.
2. Open the “About” section and enable developer mode.

This step is essential to allow manual installation of APKs.

2. Install an APK via a computer

1. Connect the Pico Neo 3 to a computer using a USB-C cable.
2. Allow access to files from the headset and copy the APK file to the headset’s internal memory.
3. From the headset, open a file manager and select the APK file.
4. Confirm the installation when the confirmation message appears.

The application is installed and available in the library.

3. Important points

• Only Android and VR-compatible APKs will work properly.
• Applications installed via APK do not update automatically.
• External sources must be reliable and secure, especially in a professional environment.

To install APK files on the Pico Neo 3, you must enable developer mode in Settings > General > About, authorize external sources, and then transfer the APK file to the headset. This approach allows you to install professional or specific applications outside of the Pico Store, while maintaining control over the content deployed.
