If you watch the second video on the bottom of the Kickstarter page the one that show the modular design he spins around the headset without cords and attaches the wireless module so its safe to assume yes they are removable. And at 26 seconds it shows him unplugging the headset cord. And at 29 seconds it shows the USB and DSP connection cable and if you look closely you can see the unplugged end on the table. And there is no way they would have a wireless module with 5 meters of non removable cable attached to the headset.
Thatās just observation official comment would be nice.
But i think @JeepingJohnny has the answer. Yes the cords are removable & thus replaceable as with the wireless module youād want ti have the cords removed.
While your supplier may make cords quite durable, dogs & cats can be quite proficient at destroying them.
Probably the same time knuckles are launched. Right now there really is no reason apart from supplying them in the new Vive kits. Everyone who has vive has the lighthouses already.
You can also add 75USD to your pledge for 1 pimax lighthouse
whether circumstantial or not, would be technically the first basestation compatible with the 2.0 tracking system, if the deadlines are metā¦ this circumstance could be a good publicity
Will pimax allow us a way to use steamvr asynchronous reprojection/interleaved if we want? Why I think this is important is I heard a rumor theyāre working on a really great new version of space warp where each axis/x y z will have its own independent reprojection. This is something we will certainly want to utilize if pimax opens up options to use this.
I believe the look of the HMD in Kickstarter is the final look of the unit. I donāt see these ugly holes or diods you mention. The controllers on the other hand have not been finalized so we donāt really know for sure what they will look like. Anyway, do you really care what the HMD looks like as long as it functions the way itās being advertisedā¦ comfortable, light, no ghosting, no SDE and 200 FOV?
just check how they finished diods area in Vive or Oculus , in prototype I clearly see holes and green PCB layout. Donāt you think that thouse holes should be masked somehow ? Come onā¦
Even from practical point of view - dust or sweat can get in.
Where exactly do you see these holes? Now on the side I see some screws. But as I also understand, Pimax is going to provide additional add-on modules which would use their screws to attach the add-ons. Me personally, I couldnāt care less how they look. Itās all about functionality and performance.
Iād like to see something like this, personallyā¦ https://goo.gl/images/4tNW7y
But Iām a girl and I like nice looking things lol.
But Iām definately not going to complain about the look as I really just want them to focus on making the headset work wellā¦ like itās supposed to.
do you have Vive HMD ? dont you see obvious differences in build quality
so the key question is do they going to mask somehow thouse holes for kickstarter units?
Thatās obviously prototype hardware. I remember Pimax said theyād cover them, but I donāt remember quite whereā¦ probably near the end of the impossible to read kickstarter comments stream.
You say that the 5K backers will get the option to choose between OLED and CLPL screen on our units.
Will choosing one screen over another effect the time we receive the units? And will we have too pay extra to have one screen over the other?
Seems like CLPL will be the default, so will we have to pay extra for an OLED screen?
