Pimax CES 2024 Coverage

I think this new headset is going to be 6k panels and use bigger Aspherical Crystal lenses which would retain the Crystals clarity but with a much bigger FoV if the panels are wider and not square.

I hope this becomes a thing especially if it has an FoV of around 140.

They are absolutely not the same thing, if you send a compressed stream over WiFi then it will be Snapdragon’s job to decompress it, so no matter how much bandwidth you have, it will always be the bottleneck. In contrast, the WiGig module compresses and decompresses the signal in hardware without asking anything to Snapdragon, and the bottleneck becomes the technology implemented for the module

The WiGig module is not intended for stand-alone games (who cares?), but for PC games

On the 12K demo, it indeed sounds as if that still is in a rather early stages, so I don‘t expect to see any release of it this year.

We should hear something from MRTV too as you can see Seb and Marco standing in front of the 12K demo tent at 1:32 in the video talking about the 12K. And perhaps the fotos posted earlier in this thread also show him and Marco.

Seeing Kevin & Josh having moved to a partner company probably means at least Kevin isn‘t Pimax COO any longer. Which I think is a long overdue move as he was too far away from the operations and the disconnect showed too frequently (and let me not get started on his communication skills). But back when the road show for the Crystal took place they had a Chinese COO with them, she was probably already at that time the real COO. Since I learnt that I always wondered what exactly Kevin’s area of responsibility was at Pimax. Well, he probably was in charge of the US support operations, which now is outsourced into a partner company he and Josh seem to have set up or utilize for this purpose.

Great videos thanks for sharing. 2024 looks very exciting for VR, it seems a shift in technology is coming.

Personally? finally letting go of Index as daily driver in favour of this beast has been something of a paradigm shift.

Palmer Luckey returns. I really wonder why he doesn’t get back into VR. Surely contractual obligations with Oculus must of ran out by now.

I guess he’s busy with the jet murder drones.

It appears to be a visor, a pocket cinema. So it likely won’t have a proper VR headset with positional tracking etc…

But in the picture it looks like it has several cameras on the front.

Fair enough - it may be a proper MR headset after all. However, Google doesn‘t know it at all, and we have seen a fair number of headsets pop out of the blue and never get released or gain traction whatsoever, so it‘s not going to get me excited at all until I read a hands-on of somebody like Bradley who is positive about it as a package, and not only isolated elements like displays, etc…

Pimax is back to its BS marketing.

First of all the Pimax 60gig module isn’t on sale so can’t be the first to anything.

Second the XTAL HTC Vive has a wireless module. And if that’s not high res enough XTAL has a wireless module.

Third the Pimax module needed a battery power bank so wasn’t really wireless.

We need detail like how long can you play wirelessly on a single battery? What’s the range? What the price? When’s the release date?

Is there anything new under the sun :sun_with_face:?
