While im pretty annoyed its been months since any sort of update on accessories/modules (most headsets have been shipped for many months, surely some work has started on them). I am still happy you guys are expanding and setting up all the infrastructure needed to thrive as a business.
As an australian im pretty happy i backed. Because while it has certainly been a rocky road, this price for just the 5k headset is almost how much i paid for an 8K full package + hand tracking module (i think it was like $1230 at the time)
Hi, it’s AU$1169.99 actually, almost US$820 and then minus 10 percent discount is US$732 that is less than the amount of the order at pimax official store for Australian customers now. It seems that the original price is higher than official store, but if you considered the logistics fee, GST tax, 12% Amazon commission, FBA service, this price plus discount is a good deal for AU customers
You now have a native American working for you @PimaxUSA, why didn’t you ask him to at least have a quick look at the text you’ve used for the ad? It’s quite bad in its current form.
That calculation is completely f*cked up - horizontal and diagonal is almost the same which is nuts.
Just using plain old Pythagoras gives you 190 degrees on Large FOV.
The same way I’d use it to calculate the diagonal for a TV, given I know the base and the sides. It’s a rectangle, isn’t it?
So:
horizontal^2 + vertical^2 = diagonal^2
When you do calculation for the TV, you use the dimensions of the panel, not angles at which you observe the panel. Pythagorean theorem addresses the sides of the right triangle, i.e. the planar object. When dealing with FOV you are calculating angular dimensions in 3D. totally different thing.
If you do not understand the difference, imagine your TV. If it has for example 55" diagonal, and 16:9 panel, it would mean that its dimensions will be 47.9 x 27 inches. Does it mean that you see your TV at 55° diagonal FOV and 47.9° horizontal and 27° vertical FOV? I hope not. And if you get closer? I hope you see the disconnect in the thinking.
