This version of the software introduces a bunch of new features and updates making it fully compatible with all functionality of PiTool 1.0.2.087_V2.0. Backlight brightness for all Pimax VR headsets, including 8KX, is now instantly adjustable in the UI with the use of slider and +/- buttons, no HMD reboot required.
A new calibration menu has been added with selectable test charts/images and instant access to all adjustments, made to conveniently customize HMD backlight/brightness/contrast/individual RGB color gamma for each existing profile, and save the changes instantly. Background is automatically set to black/none while inside the Calibration, for optimal conditions. The feature can be accessed by clicking the icon located next to the Brightness/Contrast/Backlight sliders in the Quick Settings, Settings and Advanced Settings menus.
The calibration menu is still work in progress and will soon be extended with further customization, 5K XR black-level adjustment, ability to upload custom chart images and support to save backlight+black-level parameters into per-game profiles.
Furthermode, IPD Offset & Screen Vertical adjustment sliders can now be linked to adjust both sliders simultanously. Changing to individual per-eye adjustment is still possible with one-click. Additionally, all selections from drop-down menus are now dynamically made upon selecting new value, without the need of using the previous “Load” buttons, to improve the user experience and efficiency. Therefore, all load-buttons for drop-downs have been removed.
