Ah this is fantastic news!! I know beat saber isn’t the best game for showing off the fidelity that the cystal can provide, but I would love to try it at 160hz with the new controllers to get a good idea of what’s possible (while keeping in mind that the tradeshow floor at VR days may not be the ideal environment for the tracking, but a good stress test in a way!).
Do you know if VR days will also get 30 minute sessions or will they be shorter due to the tradeshow nature? I will be there at 9am, hopefully the first in line ha. Even just getting to try beat saber and Alyx would be ideal for me, just make sure to turn off dynamic resolution in Alyx so we can see the full res rather than it dropping it down or such.
Will be there in Berlin on the 19. Nov., thanks for the easy signup process .
Suggested games/Experiences:
Alyx, clear graphics, good AA, almost anyone knows it for reference, easy to select different levels
Star Wars: Squadrons, easy accessible space game, good to see local dimming and lenses at work due to the contrast in space
KayakVR, many different scenes which are easy to switch, good graphics BUT with TAA which makes it blurry. It would be interesting to see if the resolution can compensate for TAA, or if you could totally turn it off. With low res headsets like the Quest 2, it’s either totally blurry, or has a lot of shimmering with TAA disabled
RecRoom Mirror for testing the tracking
Also a game where local dimming is explicitly enabled, as the Quest Pro is f.e. restrictive and does it only by app support. Do you face similiar restrictions, or is local dimming enabled by default?
This is great. I look forward to Sebastian’s expressions and I guess we’ll get some from Nathie in the Nathierlands and hopefully Mike too. This is what matters to me. I don’t trust what Pimax say or promise.
I know what you mean… But Nathie and Mike are not biased towards Pimax. Quite the opposite the last years. They will come in with skepticism so if they get hyped I’m turned.

Not sure if it was you who pinned the original notification in my question, but it doesn’t contain the info. It seemed simple enough. Will the demos include the Lighthouse tracking module? Is it ready yet?
Something simple like yes or not initially but soon would suffice.
Indeed. A price for just he hmd and LH module would also be nice with a separate price for the the Crystal controllers should one decide they also want IO tracking would be nice.
Guys, I promise I’ll answer all your questions tomorrow (Sunday). Currently away and busy on a family gathering, but I will catch up tomorrow, so please keep the questions coming meanwhile!
Wasn’t a comment. Was a simple question as to whether the LH face-plate would be at the roadshows. Shouldn’t have to open accounts elsewhere to ask a question about an event posted in Pimax’s own forum. A question in response to a post here.
I can wait for that info knowing how busy Marcin is atm. It’s not life or death, but if any newbies come looking to buy Crystal and ask questions here please don’t tell them to go to other sites and open an account to get such a basic piece of info. It could be a negative experience.
