A quick PSA for Pimax owners: when your headset arrives, do not just check whether âeye tracking seems okay.â Test it properly.
One of the most useful tools Iâve found for this is BrokenEye. For supported headsets, it can show the actual eye-tracking camera image streams and more detailed tracking data, which makes faults much easier to identify than vague symptoms like âtracking feels off.â The tool can stream images from the cameras, preview themâŚ

This is what it showed me for my broken left camera on my Dream Air:

Without a tool like this, a user may only be able to tell support something fuzzy like:
- âeye tracking doesnât seem rightâ
- âone eye feels worse than the otherâ
- âcalibration seems offâ
- âfoveated rendering seems strangeâ
Or worse, just think itâs something acceptable, or user error.
But with camera preview, you can often move from that vague description to something much more concrete, such as:
- one eye-tracking camera is not working at all
- one side is blurry
- there is debris or contamination visible
- one camera image is poor or abnormal compared to the other
That is a much stronger starting point for diagnosis and supportâŚ
