I honestly can’t get excited about the eye tracking until I’ve received my 8K-X and have tried it with my glasses on. Pimax said if you wear glasses with the eye tracking, you can only use the thick comfort foam, not the thin foam. What if the thick foam gives me bad distortions in comparison to thin foam? Then I’d have to either wear contact lenses all the time just to enjoy distortion free eye tracking or get prescription lens adapters printed, which I have no idea where I’d even buy. And do prescription lens adapters even work with eye tracking?
So due to all these unknown factors, I honestly can’t get excited about eye tracking with DFR right now.
EDIT: The eye tracking can act as a holder for prescription lenses.
I wish you best of luck with that use-case. Glasses are terribly annoying and delete RL perceivable peripheral view over time, as well as cutting out a large part of depth perception you can enjoy as a human being. Bad with balls? That’s why.
I went short sighted before hitting my twenties, and got my eyes lasered later, with special new technology. No flap, no surface attack, no damage to nerves in skin. See PM for details. Might need to fly to Germany for that though, don’t know tbh. Best decision ever.
The eyetracking Module unless it has changed supports Prescription Lens Inserts. The VRmust will not work as if there using the 3dprintable they attach I believe the same way the eyetracker does.
@PimaxUSA can you confirm the Eyetracker has support still for special prescription inserts? (Sorry haven’t had time to fully preview you & @SweViver’s awesome presentation)
i’m almost certain @PimaxUSA mentioned that one of the reasons they dropped the prescription lens insert from the new stretch goal package was that the eye tracking module supported it and made it superfluous.
Hmm. I thought for sure this thread was gonna be something else.
In the video about eye tracking and DFR released about 6 months ago at CES on either the pimax channel or Martin’s channel, Martin mentions that he sees the DFR working. While everyone knows it was and still is a work in progress, it did still raise some concerns that I didn’t really think abt before. I recall seeing at least one other person in the comment section kind of worried after hearing that, allow me to explain…
My concern with eye tracking and DFR is that the DFR won’t be responsive enough. In theory if DFR is good, it shouldn’t be noticeable to the viewer/player other than the increase in content frame rate, as the lower quality content is always outsite their area of focus.
If you are in a jet and need to take a quick look at a guage but have to wait an additional 0.5 seconds for that area to be in focus then there’s definitely going to be a problem.
If the Eye Tracking and DFR is not fast and accurate then whether you wear glasses or not is moot as it wouldn’t be effective regardless.
I wonder if this concern/question was answered already.
it was, supposedly the current eye tracker is sampling 3 times faster than the one at ces, at 120hz. they mentioned that the issues at ces was eliminated.
But what kind of shaped lenses would need to be made to fit into the eye tracking lens holders? Is there a site you recommend? Would I need to order prescription lenses custom made specifically for 8KX?
as far as I am aware you just take the tracker to your local trusted eye doctor they measure them and then order what ever kind of lens to be made that you want made to the dimensions to fit.
