Technically, a low budget Headset can be released just with the displays of the Varjo, note, not including the bionic display, eye tracking

I think that guy was smokin crack though…
Man…does the pimax look horrible…hopefully their next offering has better lenses and Oled!
G2 looked pretty accurate to me, and its common knowledge now that the Pimax8kx clarity is inferior vs the G2.
The Varjo and sebastian did not cost pimax a sale from me…pimax did with their inferior product. Instead of complaining about sebastian and users impressions of the VR3, pimax should be building a better mouse trap then they currently offer.
Pressuring a reviewer this way makes me NEVER want to buy their products.
He has te released the video with decent pics. Recommend checking it out.

They didn’t pressure him at all on this. He recognized the quality did not match his past ttl and chose to fix it. This was after many pointed out issues with his ttl pics of both g2 and 8kX.
His pictures didn’t line up with his dialogue didn’t match what he said about the g2 and 8kX. I commend Seb for recognizing it was not his previous quality.
Varjo vr3 is some great achievements and really should be for the price being out of this world. However we need a WFoV Varjo and atm Varjo’s hmd requires too much power to expand the FoV. Now it would be great to see a compare with Xtal 8k as both have Aspherical Lenses and both are priced to be outside of the consumer space.
Pimax’s product for it’s price point is decent quality for it’s target consumer.
As for the 8kX being inferior to the G2 in clarity is over dramatizing that. As it was simply said the G2 has a touch better clarity.

I hope Varjo gives this industry a nice kick in the rectum…its time to up the quality across the board. Consumers should not have to settle for glare, god rays, mura, grey blacks, small sweet spots, etc, etc…charge more if necessary the market will support up to $2k headset if the quality is there.

WAY better now. It now pretty accurately depicts what I see too. Glad Sebastian admitted and fixed the error

Interesting you picked the least favorable.
Here is the text he has up now closer to reality but still not nearly as good as it is.
Here is an image spamenigma uploaded just from a phone which is even closer: (with seb’s you can’t read the numbers shown at all but here with this simple photo you can easily read 20/70 and 20/50 etc.)
Here is the same image using screen grabs without motion blur from seb’s video:
To be clear here I do not blame Seb in any way shape or form. I think it’s just a simple error nothing more.

Why is that ‘interesting’?
TTL shots will never be ‘as good as it is’ but given all three HMDs were filmed with the same camera, the differences between each HMD are portrayed accurately.
8KX Quick Image:
Notice on his you can’t see the vertical line in the helmet in his image - that is from motion blur because his camera is in motion at the time the image was taken.
Probably just an oversight on seb’s part, no big deal.

Absolutely.
But wouldn’t that apply to all three HMDs?
And again, why is what @BGAStories posted ‘interesting’? I get the impression you are (once again) alluding to some sort of conspiracy against Pimax, is that the case?

Obviously he chose an image that was taken with the camera moving as I have proven. You can draw your own conclusions why he chose an image where nothing is even remotely legible.
What conclusion did you draw?
Unfortunately without using a rig like @Tyrielwood or Doc_ok it is very difficult to get a decent shot. Both Seb and Marcin had said this. So it involves taking quite a few shots and choosing the best one.
No conspiracy as he does have good pictures in the mix. Some of his past best ttl was the green monster in steam home.
I found with a camera phone it was best to remove the. Gasket facial interface on pimax headset.
Sebs words describing the headsets is much better and his pics are more of reference that give a rough idea of what he has described.
Enterprise paying customers will help us get there. What we do know is it is easier to build a restricted FoV headset than a WFoV headset.
The Varjo VR3 has somr great advancements but the rendering costs atm are insane for it’s FoV limits. I would really like to hear a comparison to the 8k Xtal which uses custom aspherical lenses to give a WFoV. Though 1 big flaw with Xtal is the hmd weight is very high.
Imho if were going to be tossing an hmd every 2 to 3 years it needs to be priced under $2k more arounf $1300 max.
Agreed. The conclusions haven’t changed, neither has his perception or that of people who’ve actually owned all three sets.
There’s no spinning things out of this. If Pimax want to stick to FOV lead selling, then stick to it but you’re not going to be the best at everything and have never been, so this isn’t some new threat.

yep this is true of all the headsets currently available…they all have compromises in some area…just up to the consumer to decide which compromises fit best with what they like.
