Version: v5
Hardware
Sensors hidden
Better IPD adjustment
Better heat dissipation and strength.
Refresh rate: Still high risk. We are exploring a new hardware solution for 85/90Hz, theoretically feasible. We will reach a conclusion in March.
The shipping schedule will be updated on Jan.
Software
Optimized optical design
Debugging with Brainwarp
ASW algorithm done
Production testing software and tools ready
PiPlay v3.0 in progress, add support to the new VR content platform HTC Wave
Kickstarter stretch goals
AdHawk is evaluating eye tracking solution for Pimax. Thanks for your suggestions! @Cdaked @aesopfabled @sgallouet
We are exploring partnerships actively with content developers, both for the stretch goal and PiHome. Shot a message to bacon.wei@pimaxvr.com if you’d like to partner up!
Why CES
CES is a good chance for us to collect feedbacks to further improve 8K.
We will take the feedback from CES into account.
After CES, our Pimax R&D team will move on to debug the headset and improve the algorithm and make sure software is ready before we start to ship anything.
Our project team will evaluate risks, and annouce the shipping plan for the first batch.
Then, our Pimax community marketing team arrange close demos with VR enthusiasts, and ship a very small batch to the leaders in Pimax community and volunteers before shipping larger volume.
