Pimax Crystal

The Pimax Crystal is a high-end VR headset from Pimax, known for its advanced optics, high resolution, and wide field of view, designed for enthusiasts and professionals looking for an immersive VR experience. It represents a significant step forward in the VR space, boasting cutting-edge features tailored to deliver exceptional visuals and immersive interaction.

Key Features of the Pimax Crystal:

• Dual 4K Displays: The Pimax Crystal features dual 4K mini-LED displays (one for each eye), providing a total resolution of 8K (7680 x 2160), ensuring ultra-sharp visuals and crisp clarity. This high resolution reduces the screen door effect, offering a more lifelike and immersive experience.
• High Refresh Rate: It supports a refresh rate of up to 160Hz, providing smooth and responsive visuals that are crucial for fast-paced VR experiences. The higher refresh rate ensures fluid motion and reduces motion blur, enhancing immersion in games and simulations.
• Wide Field of View (FOV): One of the standout features of the Pimax Crystal is its wide field of view, offering up to 120° FOV, which is much wider than many VR headsets on the market (such as the Oculus Quest 2 or PSVR). This wide FOV contributes to a more natural, panoramic VR experience, making it feel as though you're truly inside the virtual world.
• Colour Accuracy with Mini-LED Technology: The use of mini-LED technology enhances colour contrast and brightness, delivering more vibrant, realistic colours with deeper blacks and better overall image quality. This is ideal for VR applications requiring high visual fidelity, such as virtual tourism, architectural design, or movie watching in VR.
• Advanced Optics: The Pimax Crystal is equipped with custom optics designed to reduce distortion, chromatic aberrations, and lens glare, providing a clearer and more comfortable visual experience. The optics are designed for users who wear glasses, with adjustable IPD (interpupillary distance) to suit a variety of eye distances for a more personalised fit.
• Integrated Eye Tracking: The headset includes eye-tracking technology, which not only helps improve the VR experience by enabling features like foveated rendering but also allows for more immersive interactions. Foveated rendering intelligently reduces the graphical load by lowering the resolution in peripheral vision areas while keeping the focal point crisp and clear, enhancing performance.
• Inside-Out Tracking: The Pimax Crystal uses inside-out tracking, meaning it doesn’t require external base stations or external sensors to track movement. It uses integrated cameras and sensors to track your head and controller movements, making setup more straightforward and eliminating the need for additional hardware.
• Improved Comfort: The headset is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a lightweight and balanced build with an adjustable headstrap, making it easier to wear for extended sessions. It also has good ventilation to prevent overheating during long play sessions.
• Compatibility with SteamVR and Other Platforms: The Pimax Crystal is compatible with SteamVR, making it work with a vast library of PC VR games and applications. It also supports open VR and can integrate with other VR platforms, making it a versatile option for various use cases, including gaming, professional training, and design.
• Modular Design: The Pimax Crystal offers modular upgrades, meaning users can customise their experience by adding different accessories or improvements, such as upgraded audio solutions or facial interface replacements. This modular approach allows the headset to evolve with future advancements,
• Sound Quality: The Pimax Crystal features an integrated spatial audio system, delivering high-quality, immersive 3D sound directly through the headset, providing a more immersive auditory experience without the need for external headphones.
• PC VR Performance: Designed to be powered by a PC, the Pimax Crystal relies on your computer’s hardware to run high-end VR applications. With the high resolution and refresh rate, it requires a powerful PC with a high-end GPU to run smoothly. It’s optimized for users with powerful gaming rigs looking for the ultimate VR performance.
