Dear community,

Kevin Henderson, Head of Pimax USA operations, will come on the People In XR podcast. I got lots of questions already, but I would also like to give you a chance to give me some ideas what to ask. Therefore I have started this thread. Thanks!

Bye, Sebastian

When will they offer the new foam options? Many people have complaints regarding the narrow distance from the lenses with the shipped foam.

Progress checklist on the Backer rewards in general, and the “three pieces of content” specifically. Also, are Pimax planning to ship all backer rewards as a single package? What about coupons? Is controller design finalized or still in flux?

Status of wireless module and eye tracking module? When can we purchase the hand tracking module separately or with the coupon we have from them?

Pimax has a clear market lead being the only high fov consumer hmd maker for pc.

Why do you think other hmd makers seem stuck at around 100 degree fov.

danke sebastian, dass du dir wieder die arbeit machst infos aus pimax herauszuholen :smiley:

meine fragen:

  • wird die gehäuse qualität bei replacement headset besser sein? ich habe meine 3 wochen und langsam geht das geäuse kaputt, lohnt es sich ein replacement zu beantragen oder ist die qualtität gleich “scheiĂźe”
  • Wann kommt das Wireless modul, es ist unerträglich ein scheiĂź kabel dran zu haben.
  • Wann kommen die Controller?
  • Werden die Pimax Controller mit Vive/VivePro kompatibel sein ohne dass man eine Pimax hat?
  • An wenn muss man sich wenden, um das auf/weg Poppen von gegenständen (Occlusion Culling/frustum culling) im äuĂźeren rand weg zu bekommen, ist das Pimax oder STeamVR (Valve) oder Unity/Unreal Engine Hersteller oder SpieleProgrammierer Problem?

-Have they redesigned the ring around the controllers?
-Have they started to experiment with dynamic distortion using the eye tracking module?

Edit distortion and save distortion profile. Have a distortion correction app.

Lighthouses x2. I’m skeptical they are actually going to happen. Something is going on with them… contractual or something.

Ich habe dieses Ein- und Aussteigen an den Rändern in Elite Dangerous auf meinem 2D-Flachbildschirm gesehen. In einigen Fällen ist es das Spiel selbst, das die Ursache des Problems ist.

I’ve seen this popping-in/out at the margins in Elite Dangerous on my 2D flat screen, so at least in some cases, it’s the game itself which is the source of the problem.
