320 ppd to truly eliminate sde would require a whopping resolution of 32,000 v x 64,000 h per eye, or as little as half of that. Our screen technology needs to quadruple itself four times, or 256 fold, before we get there, not even counting rendering requirements for those pixels.
Light field displays decrease ppd by fortyfold, so the optimal retinal display might even be 1,280,000 x 2,560,000 pixel LFD (2500k per eye)
491,520,000,000 billion - 786,432,000,000,000 trillion pixels per second at 120hz vs the 8kx’s 1,244,160,000 billion pixels per second at 75hz which the 2080ti can barely handle. Our gpus need to be 500-800,000 times better for true retinal resolution, unless foveated rendering becomes a standard.
I’m not too hopeful to see it soon considering gpus have only gotten 30 times better at most in the last 10-15 years. Maybe check back in 20 years for 80 ppd wide fov “true 8k”?
Pimax, if you’re not willing to give us info or work on accessories, can we atleast get a pimax wall callender, so we can mark off the months and years as we wait?
You have to give them a break. Everything is delayed until they are done creating their 3 pieces of content for the stretch goals. Games take a long time to make, 3-5 years each (the team can only do one game at a time) of course there’s also valve time. Really there is no point in shipping anything else until these are done (they need to save on shipping costs) /S
Things only change when it’s ready. We can only hope pimax is ready to see & hear things with an open mind instead of a seemingly closed minded mentality.
Pimax is not alone in this flawed mindset; it is often even worst in fortune 500 companies. Executives often lose the ability to remember & understand the folks on the ground level.
Folks on the ground level could help things greatly improve if those in high positions hadn’t become ignorant of lessons past.
Wow. No new announcement date till this time?
I really hoped to see one while reading 80 posts lol
How many days were Pimax team out of the office due to Dorian? A week? A month?
Are two working days not enough to make a new countdown?
Yes mate I turned 75 yesterday ,and really wondering if I will ever get to use the Hmd complete
with LH’s,DAS, and wands.
Since it arrived in March it has been sitting in the box until the accessories
FINALLY arrive.I truly am hoping I get a chance to use them before I kick the bucket as the way this company operates there no guarantee I will receive them in my lifetime.
Thankfully I have Samsung Odyssey to use
In all seriousness you are an inspiration! Dang, I thought I was old. I’ve tried to get my dad, who is around your age, interested in VR since it is a favorite hobby but long ago I think he gave up on the idea of gaming after trying to play Halo and having difficulty controlling his characters movements.
Instead would rather passively enjoy movies and football watching on TV. Really keep going. I think gaming and especially VR are great waves to keep those synapses firing on different levels help us to function as well and for as long as possible.
I can understand him not enjoying fast paced games ,I don’t but games like Sniperelite series
are amazing you can take your time set up traps etc I literally spend hours and hours playing
this game because there are so many different scenario’s and now they have announced
there new Sniperelite 5? will be in VR.
I am also right into Flight and Car sims which are fantastic especially trying to fly choppers
being Ancient we have one advantage over younger people we have time and as you say gaming keeps your mind sharp it certainly gives me so much pleasure:joy:
From what I’ve heard, the 8KX should be better that what was promised (single cable, better screens than 8K), although a few specs may have fallen (lower refresh rate, due to single cable). Basically, much like what happened for 5K backers; they got the 5K+.
