yea I tried this and it helps with the “double images” issue but unfortunately I still see that empty space when I look around. I don’t know maybe it is the angled lens or the fact that PIMAX can’t go under 60 IPD.
Yes I’ve tried it. The result is reduced FOV, more distortion and I still have eye strain.
Here to just chime in with the brain strain issue.
I was watching a movie in Bigscreen yesterday and felt something that might be called brain strain. It wasn’t eye strain because I had those before in the Pimax 4K and that’s very different from what I experienced last night.
I was watching a 3D movie by the way, Edge of Tomorrow (frikkin great movie), so maybe the shaky giant screen was a cause but I definately felt a bit weird with a feeling in my gut, not much but existing none the less
Interesting thread, is this what I’m experiencing as well?
Only played with the headset for ten minutes or so (arrived yesterday), but it felt like the head model was off or something, as if the periphery of my vision was warping or moving, made me feel a bit queasy as it felt like the world was shifting around.
No issues with my Rift, but then, no issues on the Pimax either in a similar field of vision; that small FOV in front of me did seem OK.
Only tried the Pimax launcher, and fired up Elite quickly (parallel projection compatibility on, of course), that was it.
There seems to be a bunch of issues that compound into making it painful to use. The distortions on the edges make the world aren’t right, then you have the waving of the world itself and then the IPD issues with blurriness all compounds into a thoroughly brain twisting mess.
I don’t think this has a software fix possibility, most of this issue is the way the lenses were designed.

Hmm! Well in my case I did figure out most of the queasyness was due to me setting up the lighthouses like an idiot.
I still have the issues with blur, and edge warping, and it still feels sort of like my eyes are trying really hard to focus, but the head/neck model issues feel like they’re gone now that the lighthouses are behaving (I think the way it was set up, they sort of “disagreed” so depending on which one had majority coverage of the headset, the position would subtly shift as I turned around; that doesn’t happen any more).
i dont think seting them up can be done in a way that causes such problems, as long as the headset (sensors) see the ir laser and the lighthouse can see each other to sync by ir (alternativ is the cable to sync) all should work
problems will ocour when you move them after calibating (aka room setup) or they move through vibration (swinging when on a pole or moving from original position by the small virbrations like standing in a shelf)
as long as room setup is done properly and the lighthouses stay in place there is not much that can go wrong i guess (ir reflections can be a problem somtimes, mirrors, windows, tv’s, …often easy to check when covering this surfaces)
