What happened to what was offered in the V3 version?

[Mpmo10]

Wth is a viewer…? (:$$:$))

[dillanski]

Thing is we don’t even know whether the lens are still a problem thanks to the news blackout

[Davobkk]

Don’t speak bad of the project you will be banned from the forum. Lift your spirits and contribute to the photo shop thread

[dustyearlobe]

Maybe a retainer from htc to delay so htc could get some pro sales before pimax took a dump on them,or am i just being to aggressive,
Ok thanks Htc for letting us use your light house,s o and ok we will postpone a while so you can get pro sales up ,thanks again .
this is fiction totally and completely but as we are speculating what happened enjoy

[Jam-gino]

the Google translator did it wrong.
I mean the Pimax m1 glasses

[Mlkconcept]

Indeed, but if there is a possibility of an 8k version with a better “premium” lenses ''if" the actual lenses are a cheaper solution I’d like to know, just like there is an 5K, 8K and 8K X versions, a premium lenses version would be great without glare, chromatic aberration, distortions at the edges etc, the wait is too long if at the end it hasn’t a great visual experience

@deletedpimaxrep1

[kloperius]

Yeah. But If this hapens all backers should receive the premium lenses. We were the people that trust in pimax

[dillanski]

Maybe this will be an option down the line , lol

[dillanski]

In your dreams …
Although as a diy upgrade possibly if the lens are still the issue , surely these lens just pop out like the wmr , rift , vive , vive pro do

I’d like to know how much extra would cost these lenses of v3 made by hand because if it would be 100 or 200 bucks more I’d pay it if it means have the best headset possible without all these problems caused by the lens[/quote]
Unfortunately, I think that price is off by at least a power of 10, that is, think custom professional photography equipment prices (starting in the thousands).

[Mlkconcept]

So if the real cost of actual lenses are 20 bucks, premium lenses would be 200, I guess

[Kayanesa]

I understand the feeling of wanting the best experience but i think your ignoring the negative been said about the V3. And making it look better than it was.

@Cdaked

I can not say the FOV grades. 200 did not seem to me, but 180 or 190, I could not say exactly

@evertec

I didn’t do any scientific tests, but I wouldn’t have thought it was a full 200 degrees. Pimax said they are only using about 80% of the screen right now and they will be tweaking the lenses more with v4 and v5 to try to get that utilization to 100% so maybe the fov will increase a bit also.

@Cdaked

It still hard to find the screendoor effect. the screen matrix is there still but you have to look for it if you want to see it.

@evertec

It is visible if you look for it but it’s easy to get immersed in the experience and not notice at all

@Cdaked

Something wrong? The screen is darker than Vive, more or less like Rift, but the blacks looks black again and the colors looks the same as I see it in Rift and Live in this game.

@evertec

When I tested the V2 earlier in the day I noticed some distracting distortion on the edges of my fov that made moving around a bit disorienting. Thankfully, the V3 largely solved this, but there was still a small bit on the edges.

@evertec

the God rays were much improved

much improved usually mean there are still some

For sure the review where made in a positive manner and excitement. I would be curious @Cdaked to know if you think after all this time if the lens version 3 was shipping ready. I could go in length on how some of the problem in M1 could have come to be but plenty of ppl have already said it and it clearly didn’t change your opinion and i guess that is fine.

But on a pure logical standpoint, it make no sens for a company to keep on developing and spending resource on a part that is good and ready. So my only conclusion is they where missing something they needed to improve and that brings them other problem that need tweaking. They also look like they believe they can still improve it and are doing it.

To answer directly to your title. What happened to V3 is that they are still trying to improve it

Sorry for ignoring the worry some have expressed that V3 could have been overly costly version that never would have been possible. I just don’t see the point of going down that lane. Wont help anyone.

[Cdaked]

All I can tell you is that @omg1973 was talking about HORIZONTAL FOV, not diagonal.

[Kayanesa]

Oh lol i skiped a few line and didnt realise you wherent the one testing it.

[Jam-gino]

@deletedpimaxrep1 @Pimax-Support

One thing seems clear.
they read our doubts and questions … the days or weeks pass and no member of the Pimax team responds.

[kloperius]

Most likely the new m2 still have the same issues or other news. Maybe its impossible to fix the worst issues but because all testers dont give green light they continue to find solutions. But sooner or latter they have to forget the green light of all testers and said the truth… I just dont know, what im writing its just speculation like 90% of pimax posts.
I dont mind waiting even if its one year but this lack of comunications its very bad.

[MReis]

I opt in in that, I don’t get why they don’t manage a weekly update in what ever format with a few pics to keep us in nformed …
Take a look at star citizen- they have the show running on and on and … (yes I am A Baker there too)

[Soarin]

Another pointless topic full of conjecture to waste time reading, thanks guys.

[kloperius]

blame pimax for this

[Jam-gino]

the conjectures can be cause of the lack of communication?
think about it…
