I doubt it. Firstly, no proper interaction support yet. Will need steam controllers as Nolo arent really a good option. Game availability is another area they need to promote

Yeah need signing up to view in 1080p.
Or you can check out the Japanese preview I linked, around 23:59 there is a close up comparison of q2, vive pro2, 8kx and arpara 5k.

Sounds awesome. Micro OLED can have some cool benefits. One of my colleagues told me the apara actual fov is just 87 degrees H. Seems like we are moving the wrong way on that front.
Really nice how portable it is though.

I really hope Pimax can deliver the 12k as good as it claims to be. The arpara will be my fall back hmd if 12k doesn’t reach the potential, but if it does, I will be passing down the arpara to my brother.
One thing that got me really interested with the Arpara is the diopter adjustments, I’m really tired of adjusting and wearing my glasses in vr, to the point I’m willing to trade a bit of fov for not having to wear glasses. It is really a huge inconvenience. 12k sounds like everything one could hope for, except this, does Pimax have any plan on this area or it’s going to be glasses as usual.
Also, how confident is Pimax on a Q4 2022 release for the 12k?

I dont know, based on the bulk of the Pimax, it wont be useful in all situations. I’d keep the apara around as an alternative when I just want the super resolution without the neckstrain.

Still not pulling anything up on Kickstarter under Arpara… They said it would be released on Kickstarter at the end on November, maybe tomorrow!!
or early december so their support said. I’m waiting to see what the AIO device is like, the tethered version is already a released product in china with LH tracker. I’m quite looking forward to this hmd as it’s a real product in the wild, not a video of a product, which means it shouldn’t be too long for global shipping.

Which websites can you purchase the lighthouse model? Are they in stock or up for pre order?

@Davobkk if you meant the LH cover for the tethered version, it says preorder on jd.com website but I’ve seen in the product review a couple of ppl had mentioned it’s released. I’m thinking a limited amount has already been delivered to the buyers like the tethered model.
I am thinking the ordering should be opening soon tho for global, if they aiming for Feb delivery.

The Kickstarter tethered model is supposed to be the same but with updates to the Hertz, different color and is only $399 instead of the on sale price of $599. SO im waiting for the Kickstarter to start.

I guess one of the hardest obstacles will be translating the software for the westen market. That might be why it’s already on sale in China

Could easily ask for voluntary help from asian living overseas, easily have interface in English that makes sense and not ‘grammatically correct’ wrong English.
Release date announcement next week, mass production December/ Early January, shipping February
