Күн бұрынYou wanted more through-the-lense footage of the Pimax Crystal in order to see how your Crystal Light (Local Dimming Version) will look like! Here you go. And what can I say, we have reached photorealism with VR and you can get the quality you see in the video starting from $799! with the Pimax Crystal Light (Localdimming Version).

Still in doubt. If they would follow your advice to drop that extra audio upgrade on $799 version - yes. If they would make no-local dimming and no-controllers option - probably yes. Otherwise I will stick to my $250 Reverb G2 with Pico4 lenses until Pimax super-models later this year. If OLED will be blurry when in motion, I will get LD LCD version.

Rather than photorealism, I think it's more like the basically "retina" resolution that's blowing you away here. The visuals in these games can certainly get more realistic in many areas, but I'm sure the resolution is now getting to a point where it's pretty close to your real eyes.
@mixedrealityTV 12 күн бұрын
Yes, you are right.
@0LoneTech 12 күн бұрын
@@aprile1710 Calculating from old marketing, the "retina display" branding worked out to about 52-63 pixels per degree, and Pimax Crystal Super is marketed as 50-57 pixels per degree (probably QLED vs Micro-OLED), so it's absolutely getting there. Crystal and Crystal Light are down in the 35 ppd range, but have clearer and wider optics than many other headsets. That said, this is MRTV in full hype mode, and it's hard to judge these things from footage, as there's not much frame of reference for the field of view covered, and that's probably smaller than normal vision just to get the camera resolution meaningful.
@Reptile1971 7 күн бұрын
Respectfully disagree. Depends what we mean “close”. Even a 4k screen isn’t “retina” resolution and this isn’t 4k. Even 8k isn’t like that. And that’s viewing distance of a screen. In VR you need 5kx5k to get the perception of a normal 4k television at viewing distance. Certainly not photo realistic. Extremely good, much better than the competition, but let’s see what the Super will be able to do. Or the 12K if ever arrives. (Retinal resolution would be 15kx15k if it’s a VR lens..)
@inceptional 7 күн бұрын
@@Reptile1971 Yeah, it's not actually the level that could truly be called "retina", but I think what he's saying is that it's reached a point where it's so good that you likely wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference even when the resolution increases. I mean, it will, but nothing too major from now on when it comes to perceptible resolution really, I would guess.

So Sebastian, have been looking for an upgrade to the G2 for a while and was considering getting the Index (just to have that classic piece of hardware, there’s a guy selling some here down under at a reasonable price) and also getting the Beyond to use as the headset! The overall price of this endeavour has been a deterrent. The whole battery affair of the Crystal, the form factor, and criticisms of the software kept me from considering Pimax, but this light version at this price has won me over. I’m in! I’ve got a 3080, perhaps it’s time for a 4080 to pair nicely with the Crystal Light. Seb, would you say there will be a noticeable benefit in upgrading the card?

@@mixedrealityTV I appreciate that. Pimax makes the best gear. I have been in contact with the company for several months now trying to get them to associate with another company. They were quite nice about it. However, it appears now that they are perfectly situated to be a power-player in the "Meta" verse. Anyway, I told Pimax that they are as important as Meta and Apple. I truly believe in their company and I just don't want them to get stepped on someday by some big company. So I"m very hopeful Sebastian, that they will join forces with Meta and basically allow them to focus on the gear rather than the entire business model. Meta did a great favor by their invitation. I'm sure that it is self-serving; but in the meantime, it's a win move for everyone. I've been liking Meta recently. Very interesting moves being made.

I guess to run any game in 2880x2880 per eye with some high settings in game we would need Intel 15th gen and RTX5090, right? (edit on Pimax Light without eye tracking). How this could get any sharper? I guess when Quest 4 is out, we'd all find out. My bet is, Quest 4 is going to be with pancakes and edge to edge clarity, Display Port, and some 3000x3000px per eye for some $600. Maybe with eye tracking for $800.

If it's anything like the original crystal preorder, Pimax will contact you via email when it's your turn with a link to their website to complete the order and make the payment. Then your crystal light will ship out within the next few weeks. With the original crystal there were problems getting the glass lenses produced and they had to delay some people up to a couple months. They typically ship with Fedex so if you have an account set up to monitor incoming packages you can see when it actually ships out typically before they notify you (some never even got a shipping notification email). Also don't get too excited by a shipping label being created, they do that early on and it might not ship for another few weeks. In some cases, if it takes long enough they'll create multiple shipping labels and only ship one.

I just can't get why this 2800 looks so much sharper then 2200 of Pico 4 as example. 25% higher gives such an extreme difference!
@SargonDragon 12 күн бұрын
Because it's not just 25% higher. 2880x2880=8.3M vs 2200x2200=4.8M.

The pixels per degree (ppd) is notably higher in the crystal (35 ppd) vs. pico 4 (20.76 ppd). That plus good optics (lenses) can make a big difference.

Just watch my previous video, it is about buying the Bigscreen Beyond. If more companies would be releasing other headsets, I'd be all over them, too. This is a VR Enthusiast channel and that device is just the most interesting at the moment. Also, I talk about the negatives of the headset as well.

@@mixedrealityTV I miss your "reviewer" style videos, where you focus more on the technical aspects such as FOV, binocular overlap, focal distance, colors, DFR/FFR, software stack, distortions, weight, ease of use, etc. less about impressions and wows. For example, what is the state of PimaxXR support now that the lead developer walked away? What is the production capacity at Pimax? What are the delivery wait times? Pimax motion smoothing still has issues with many games, including DCS. I know these take time and effort, but I would rather wait for these than get clips that have a marketing feel to them.

@mixedrealitytv Are you going to have a Crystal Light review in the next day or two? Pimax has made the Light available for purchase for those who pre-ordered as of today without seemingly having offered review headsets to reviewers. The customer has 3 days to blindly purchase the new headset or lose their opportunity.

I have to admit it looks great and I’m tempted to buy one, BUT… I remember your video with the Reverb G2 in which you stated edge-to-edge clarity, however in practice the sweet spot of the G2 (for me) is very small, e.g. way smaller than the Index has. Not sure how that is possible, but this makes me doubt how trustworthy this through the lens video is. And it’s not that I accuse you of false videos or something, I’m just saying there is a difference between these videos and looking through the lenses yourself. I will have to see if I can somehow try one out before ordering one.
@mixedrealityTV 12 күн бұрын
Yeah it depends on how close your eyes get to the lenses, that was the problem with the G2. Many people with could not get close enough. For the Crystal, you can get extremly close and you have clear glass lenses, so you will even have less of a problem with sweetspot. Glad that you are watching my content for such a long time.

REALLY looking forward to how Unreal Engine 5.3+ games will look with this. I'm glad a company is still working on high-end PCVR only stuff. Honestly, imo, standalone VR is a waste of time and money and it's annoying that Facebook keeps distorting the market by trying to force it with their billions of dollars. The *whole point* of VR is to have a realistic virtual world to visit, and that means full immersion with visuals a standalone headset can't match. I DO wish that some company that makes VR treadmills like Omni One would come up with a way to integrate a PC case into the rotating treadmill that would turn with it, so that we could have full unbounded 3D degrees of movement with a wired headset without the twisting cord problem, since wireless just lacks the bandwidth for super high fidelity visuals for photorealistic VR.
