Please describe, how you would handle the logistics with the backers from central europe. While there is a hard BREXIT on the horizon.

Hey Crump, Did you receive your Pimax yet? Which one did u opt for?
Howdy. Yep, I got it but I haven’t been able to use it yet because I’m waiting for a displayport adapter. I have a Razer laptop so it has a mini displayport. I ordered the 8K X with the 8K loaner so it is the 8K loaner. It doesn’t come with controllers or the base stations so I have to track down the base station for the Oculus or Vive.
You can’t use an Oculus camera/“sensor” for the Pimax.
Pimax headsets (and Vive headsets for that matter) uses SteamVR sensors on the headset which “sees” light (laser) emitted from the “Vive” (actually SteamVR) lighthouses/basestations.
Oculus headsets uses cameras/“sensors” that track the headset which emits light in various places.
They’re not compatible.

Good to know. I had both and they were boxed up so I’ll just focus on finding the Vive ones. Thanks!

@anon74848233 @PimaxVR My backer number #5058 seems to be missing from the spreadsheet. I searched using Ctrl+F but got 0 results. Can you help?
Go to the bottom of the spreadsheet and click on the different tabs… I always forget

I have. I see five tabs in the spreadsheet. None of them yield any results when I searched for “5058” using Ctrl+F.
I’d PM @anon74848233 or @PimaxUSA

I don’t see the option. Maybe because I’m a new account? I’m not allowed to tag more than two usernames in the same post because of that.
Ahh, yes. You need @Heliosurge (moderator) to lift Your user level.
