  1. Can you check and update what is backer number who get tracking in each batch?

Such as next batch, the backer who get shipping is 318 to 400.
I understand that each backer will know by themself from email, other backer have to check from spreadsheet, but it look some backer not update about their tracking info.

  1. Has any update about colour and black level adjustment for 5k+?

  2. Do controller will suppport all feature like the valve knuckle?

Thanks for the update @Matthew.Xu
i think @bubbleball’s idea is really good, it would also give us an idea when to expect the headset :wink:

Can you look into any issues regarding compatibility with games attempting to read “is the headset on” through a proximity sensor?

This may be an obvious question, but do you intend to continue to improve the lens profiles for the Pimax, as well as rendering techniques?

Can we have an update to the rigid headstrap, among the other extra modules and their planned release dates?

Is there any update on the “early backers” getting more direct lines to support, to have their input on any issues they find? I have my headset (backer 31) and I have not seen how I am able to get in contact with support as an “early backer”.

Pre order customers get an included “glasses frame”. Could it be possible to switch this out for something else if we choose to? I would rather not have a (for me) useless piece of plastic being sent to me :slight_smile:

1- Pimax are still making hardware changes in headsets? if yes what type of changes?

2- How the eye tracking will be implemented in headset? because if you put eye tracking the fov will be reduced and will be impossible to glasses users to use it. How you will resolve this?

3 - You will correct the remaining distortions? or reduce at least in the 200 fov mode . its possible?

4- People that want to wait for the full pack with the stretch goals itens, they have to wait until which month of next year?

5- Backers that want to wait can choose the 5kBE (oled version) ?

6- 5kBE will have the clarity of 5k+, or only better colors and blacks with worst sde and clarity? when we will have comparations between 5k+ and 5kBE?

Thanks

When can we expect improvments to the colors/blacks on the 5k+? Is there still work being done to fix distortion on wide fov? Will we see more performance improvements in the future? What is currently the main feature that is being worked on in pitool?

How is brainwarp progressing? Will there be brightness and colorcorections for the 8k/5k+?
Will there be a 60 en 72 hz mode?
Thank you!

You can post your questions here and the answers will be available at that time, you don’t need to be online at that time to ask a question. If there’s quesrions they don’t want to answer then spamming chat isn’t any more likely to work.

Hello being one early pimax backer (<500) I will receive my pimax soon (I believe…) but I ordered the full package, with bases and controllers.

1- So I would like to know when do you plan to send bases and controllers ? or if I have to buy a Vive pack in order to fully enjoy my pimax experience for the next 6 months, or year maybe ? So it would be great to have a time planning information.
2- Same questions for backers stretch goals rewards (headstrap, VR prescription frame, eye traking, wireless system, handtracking, etc…) could you please give us a time planning ?

Best regards ! :slight_smile:

HI guys so excited about receiving my headset.

Can you forecast if all the kickstarter backers will get their headsets before Christmas?
I have two weeks off around Christmas and would love to spend the whole 2 weeks stuck in my Pimax headset but i’m in the 6000+ backer group

All the best Pimax team
