So Im sitting here at the hotel room totally exhausted on the last night of the US roadshow here in New York, and Im thinking… How about doing a few more meetups in Europe in February? Personally I love doing these roadshows, meeting you all and sharing the experience of the Pimax 8KX, especially since its still not released and many have their doubts, or just hate waiting (like I do haha).
Last time in November/December during VR Berlin and VR Space, you never got the chance to try the 8KX because we had the early v3/v4 in-house units which failed one after another. Today I have currently three 8KX units in my bag going back to Sweden, together with 8K+, 5K Super and Artisan. They have all (including the other five or six 8KX units that went back to China and partners) survived the CES and roadshow so Im sure they will survive lots more. These are basically the final units, with RE housing, except for the MAS which is not final, and one or two small changes in the housing/hinges of the HMD which will be made for the first official 8KX batch.
The upcoming days and week, I will discuss with VR Space Darius and VR Days Alex again about potentially running new meetups in February. But apart from that, Im planning to do a meetup in my home town Stockholm, Sweden, most likely in mid February or late February. All I need is a place to host it, and some more high-end computers also maybe I will talk to https://www.immersivt.se if they are interested to help out.
So yeah, I might also need YOUR help here guys… And Im pretty sure I will travel alone (maybe me and a camera man only), as the majority of the Chinese crew are going on Chinese New Years holidays now.
Apart from Berlin/Germany, Gouda/Netherlands and Stockholm/Sweden, do you have any suggestions for other locations for some potential Pimax meetups?
Do you run a VR arcade or host a nice space for a meetup?
Do you have access to some high-end PCs for a day or two?
Let me know here in this thread. I would love to keep this roadshow going and I appreciate any possible help and suggestions!
I would love to go to Canada, but Im travelling home tomorrow and I think I will stay within Europe for the next month, at least until March when GDC (and other events) are planned in US again.
Yeees, do one in Stockholm! I will come for sure if it’s on a Saturday. I live in Gävle and my car is broken so I’ll have to come by train. I might be able to help out as well but we’ll see when/if a date is set.
Almost as nice to test the 8KX as to finally meet you in person.
www.immersivt.se have a really broad public group on facebook with nerds, creatives, devs, special application professionals and whatnot. Good crowd.
Germany Düsseldorf or somewhere else in the Ruhrpott 200km radius 48million people
Sebastian with his MRTV Experience is in Dortmund maybe ask him i bet he is willing to host an event.
Thank you @SweViver for coming to United States to share the new headsets with us. It was great meeting you and having the opportunity to experience the 8KX. These meetups are definitely worth going to.
Would love to see you guys visit the UK… London, Manchester or Edinburgh would be great cities to base them in. I would certainly spend my time to travel within the UK if you visited.
London please Martin, second largest number of backers by city I believe. It would be nice to have one here for a change. I’ll help if you do have here.
Thanks guys, i will go through this thread later today, as Im in a rush here currently. Flying home in a few hours.
Anyway, London, Italy and Spain, maybe Prague sounds interesting! And especially UK seems to be the most requested country for one or more meetups. Although, Im not sure how the Brexit will affect travelling to UK. Do I need a Visa now from February?
I will talk to https://www.immersivt.se if they are interested to help out.
