You make me afraid Facebook will buyout Pimax…BTW that’s only 300k to go.

Nah. Facebook believe it or not is trying to give vr a push by offering things like the go & cruz for lower end spec pc users & same with ms.

It was one of the seminars discussed this. The goal to have a billion ppl in vr might be fb’s goal. But its going to take all vr manufacturers selling quality experiences on variety of tiers from budget to high end to get strong enough adoption to make common place.

Cept that was something like 5 yrs ago… Gotta consider inflation… Would need to hit 2.6 Mil to even be considered on par. But back then VR was a much more riskier venture with a lot less support is exposure than there is now…

As such, I arbitrarily assign 3Mil+ as an equivalent success… (what do you know, it just happens to match the eye tracking stretch goal number) :slight_smile:

Woops, you’re right. That’s what I get for making a topic at 1 am in the morning heh. If they got bought out by Facebook, I’d try to cancel my order for sure.
