Pimax 8k, virtual reality headset in 5K / 8K?

in pimax •  7 years ago  (edited)

Many know the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Playstation Vr but few people know the Pimax 8K.
But what is this virtual reality headset?
It is a helmet made by the Chinese company "Pimax" which has the particularities of having a field of view of 200 ° and a screen resolution of 5k / 8k!

While a normal helmet has a 110 ° field of view and a 2K resolution.
On kickstater Pimax has raised $ 4,236,618 that's huge!
But Pimax will they succeed their virtual reality headset?
Following on my next post!
Thanks for reading!

I have seen reviews on that hmd from when they first showed the 4k version... man 5k and 8k better have fov eye tracking or rendering that many pixels will require quad 1080's lol. Have you checked out the Magic Leap One? magicleap.com it is very cool and the next wave... Do you currently have VR? I am rocking a Vive and had a Dk1 and Dk2 from oculus but decided to jump ship when the Vive came out... Now after having it for over a year... I am ready for the Vive Pro... now is wireless oh that would be so cool no wires will give me so much more freedom to paint in VR

Normally a GTX 1070 should be enough for small games.
Yes I saw the magic leap and it looks pretty cool!
I have the Playstation vr and I'm going to have the Pimax 5K.
I will soon test the HTC vive and like that I could compare.
I have seen reviews and apparently the Pimax 8k will be better than the HTC VIVE pro.

Cool on the PSVR I still want one of those... my only reservation on the Pimax is there tracking system... Not sure how good it is... Vive has rock solid tracking... I imagine that in a few years it will be a mute point. It would be nice to have the larger fov of the Pimax but I am also wondering about the weight of it... The vive pro is lighter than the vive so all in all should be interesting. Let me know when you get on I would like to hear how it works out.
