My question is, when will Deluxe Audio be ready? Because it looks like 8KX itself and normal MAS will be ready first.
If so, if I use backer upgrade to order 8KX now with Deluxe Audio option, can I get 8KX with normal MAS first and then get the Deluxe headphones separately later when they are ready?
Also, when should I expect the 8KX to ship to me. From interviews it sounds like March?
Thank you for commenting, the Deluxe Audio Strap is coming soon. We will take this question into the weekly update discussion. By this week, we will update the progressing on this MAS and 8KX!
Yes. We will deliver the 8KX and Deluxe MAS separately, you will receive the headset before the MAS.
Yes, I think that after the movement of DP optical cable from HTC, this will be the real solution for 8Kx. They would offers us the option to change the cable with an optical cable to have 90hz and long distance, like they did with the 10meters cable in Kickstarter.
@PimaxUSA@PimaxVR@PimaxQuorra Did you think it can solve our problems? Selling us an optional optical cable of 7-10 meters to achieve 90hz too? Thanks!
We will consider this, as we want to try our best to fulfil the satisfaction of each customers. Since the optical cable might work with our headset, our team will try on that. But we canāt promise anything on this, as this might need to be discuss within departments.
Our pleasure to talk with you. If you do have any questions/suggestion,donāt hesitate to let us know! We will listen it and make it a step towards improvement!
Weird, I have no depth perception issues or eye strain with my 8K. Earlier on it wasnāt great and Parallel Projections didnāt do much for depth perception but the last few PiTool updates and firmware upgrades has really brought the headset along on all fronts including clarity as well.
Yes there are still limitations due to the nature of the beast (8K screens and 1440p upscaled resolution) but over the course of the last year, there have been many good improvements.
It is good that Pimax is giving a good show at CES. It is important for them and us.
Also I have to state on the āAdviseā to reduce to 2 HMDās - Sorry not a good advice at all!
You will Always have Enthusiasts, Advanced, Experts, Beginners or something like that. I Always hated that the others had so little choice (well, now actually e.g. Oculus those deliver more choice).
@PimaxVR , please take your path ā itās good to have an Option and a choice !
I canāt know on a professional level if it must be 6 or more, or less but 2 is too little IHMO.
Sales will tell what is needed and what not.
EDIT: I guess āEvolutionā will most likley make something like 8kX, 8k+, 5k SUPER and Artesan out of it. But then again - you might like it in OLED or notā¦ well rather have the choice I guess and see whats left after a year of Sales.
In the first 8KX video, Kevin showed a couple of different face foams and mentioned a notch-less version.
Please, dear Pimax, please make that an option before you send out the hmd!
I do NOT wear glasses and Iām always bothered of light-leaking-comfort-compromising face foam notches that some companies include as default.
Iāve ordered the 8KX and Iāll gladly do a little survey before shipping to get that solved.
The more recent SteamVR update combined with the last couple versions of PiTool have come together quite well. Using 64Hz, Normal FOV, 1.25 Render with SteamVR Vid Auto and App 100% and SteamVR smoothing on.
Il2 good, DCS wel a bit slow over cities but in the air good and did my first track practice on Competizione in Assetto Corsa and it seemed to run ok as far as I could see. Need to spend more time with Competizione but distant elements on track be it scenery or signs seemed clearer than I remember from the Original Assetto Corsa but I havenāt played that for a few months so I should check that out too.
Distant textures and objects seem much better now then they did a few months ago. Returned Settings to default with in PiTool from IPD offset -1 and Vertical Alignment of +1.5 L/R.
Things across the board just seem to be better improved and it is a combination not just one element.
