I’ve seen a lot of people referencing only the road to vr article from CES so I figured I’d try and round up all of the v5 reviews I’ve seen scattered about to get a better overall picture of the current iteration. I’ve listed everything from articles to regular reddit users but if there are any more feel free to add them.
What I don’t understand is why Pimax not try for themselves before letting people demo it? Wouldn’t that make sense when you set up any demo? You demo yourself and see that everything works fine before you let others try it in order to stop negative feedback. The facts that many are complaining about it tells me Pimax has done a terrible job. If you try it and feel that it wasn’t good, then why let others try it? So that it’s good to generate negative feedback in the public? This is not a matter of getting feedback when the product wasn’t even working correctly. This sort of feedback should be obtained inside the company. When things are not working, do you even still need to say a word or feedback? C’mon man, it’s pretty common sense. If you try it yourself and you like it, there is a chance people will like it, there is no need for feedback.
It sounds like some of the bigger issues are still present in the V5, but I think Pimax can fix them. I noticed the same suggestion a few times, that I prevuously suggested.
@deletedpimaxrep1 you guys should experiment with a lower field of view. This would mitigate distortion and Mura, increase clarity and PPD, and might even help you get up to 90hz.
200 degrees is amazing, but only if these issues can be fixed.
Now that you have windows MR and Vive pro offering competition at better quality, anything you can do to provide the BEST all around experience, just makes good sense.
A new article at Heise Online (biggest German IT news site):
I desperately hope Pimax fixes the lag and the distortions- if necessary by reducing fov. (Heise writes it’s at the transition between fresnel and normal lense, so it might be systematic and not easy to fix (?))
