I think so brain, but if we don’t have ears, we’d look like weasels.

Lol awesome. I have been considering this mod for awhile. Getting closer to trying it out. Though have now found that the Htc vive Revolve is actually what i am playing with thats on kickstarter lol

Hey,

@Heliosurge how is the project did you made additional changes? I’ve been studding both the PSVR headset and the rEvolve in order to apply some changes to the PIMAX headset e.g instead of pulling the entire headset up (with makes it uncomfortable after a while) allow the visor to do a 90º degree rotation (like rEvolve). I’m still studding and I don’t have any experience but I believe this changes would benefit greatly the PIMAX comunity.

Truth haven’t done anything yet. Just set face shield on top of pimax to showcase idea. Then saw thats what REvolve is using.

Bit base idea measure distance between threads in face helmet find center. Measure width of pimax and its center needs to line up with face shield.

As rough mock up; i would use foam core board(& glue gun). Pimax padding will likely need to be removed as forehead will line up with faceshield pad; then will need 2 strips to complete gace gasket

Hey,

Over the last couple of months I’ve been lightly modding my PIMAX HMD (threads bellow). Altough I have more ideas they are more complex so…I believe its a good time to share them specially since I lack experience / knowledge to implement them.

. Leather foam;
. HDMI cable extender;
. Leap motion mount

New Ideas:

. rEvolve alternative for PIMAX;
. nose rest for PIMAX

Hey,

Crazy idea here…PIMAX + bluetooth hdmi emiter/receiver + powerbank = budget tpcast?

EDIT: Discovered old video with the similar concept for oculus here.
