Ah yeah Evertechâs review from 11 days ago but he didnt mention anything about IPD I think ? At least I donât remember him talking about it. Also I think Pimax said the IPD software wasnât ready yet

No it doesnât, thatâs the thing that worries me because this is going to be more difficult to get right.
Do you have a source for that? To my knowledge Pimax has never said what is being moved by the IPD adjustment, and you canât tell from the video of it in action.
They told me at the demo that it was only moving the lenses, not the screens, since thereâs no room to move the screens and itâs already such a wide headset. I tested moving them back and forth but they said the software wasnât finalized to do the correct warping with each IPD setting yet.

Yeah they confirmed it here on the forums. And it does make a lot of sense. If you put your hands in front of your eyes, like it was the HMD, your fingers will touch (just like the panels will touch). If you move them away then you will just decrease the overlap, so thatâs not what youâd want. However, it does complicate the software part since you need to do corrections then.

Have to look but if mem serves it is just the lenses. The soft ipd is the panels.
I suspect some people here are just knee jerking to the review without watching it. Linus may not be the most knowledgeable person in any particular field but you cannot deny he has come into contact with A LOT of tech in his time.
Moreover, whether you like his demeanor or not is a moot point, he has tonnes of subs and has player groups in many games.
His video was more than fair and his criticisms always came with the repeated disclaimer that he was reviewing a V2 which he himself said had been roughly handled by a previous reviewers.
He ended his review with glowing plaudits, exoectations for the release product with a caveat that itâs probably and for the better going to be delayed.
He also pretty much stated that an experience like this would ruin you for the current gen of headsets and that he could no longer heartily recommend current gen products in light of thisâŚ
From Linus, re VR, thatâs as big of a compliment as youâll ever get and his fans will know that he is not brushing Pimax away lightly.
All in all, a surprising review from someone occasionally known to be harsh on bleeding edge products.

Can you point me to a V3 review where the user actually tests the IPD mechanism? I dont think they had the software supporting it yet

Wrong, he knows what heâs talking about
Watch the review. He has alot of inaccuracies.
V2
-Working ipd (false)
-Proof review is old ârep had to go out & buy vive wands as Pimax one brokenâ
Only person for the most part that claimed to notice ghosting & as far as i know the only one to say he experienced vr nausea.
Like @VRGIMP27 said he has alot of viewers & in part this is due to he has a good personality for reporting. After this review myself will stick with @SweViver, VRkommando & Daily tech. (Others but these as prime)

Yeah like this video where he has absolutly no f***ing idea what he is doing with a dj mixer.
I could find you a ton more examples of him being clueless if I wanted.
