Pimax: The World's First 8K VR Headset

Pimax 8K is a cutting edge virtual reality device designed for VR futurists. Our goal is to create an intuitive VR without the shade of the headset, and sharp enough that you won't be disturbed by pixels.

We doubled FOV to 200 degrees, with an increased resolution to 2*3840x2160. Meanwhile, we have eliminated motion sickness, which is often associated with longer exposure to a virtual environment.

Pimax 8K VR has been built to support the mainstream content currently available in the market, including Steam VR, while offering the largest field-of-view (FOV) of 200° and the highest resolution (2*3840x2160) on any VR headset on the market with less than 15ms latency.

Unrivaled Visuals Pimax was first to market with a 4K VR headset, and that was just the beginning. We've refined elements from our 4K model, including ghosting and brightness, and now we're the first to bring you VR in 8K, with these issues resolved. Say goodbye to screen door effect, as we’re the ones putting “reality” into virtual reality.

Pimax 8K offers 200° Field of Vision (FOV), which is far closer to matching the natural human FOV of 220°. Users can simply use their peripheral vision instead of constantly moving their head, making for a more intuitive experience.

In addition, we’ve addressed and reduced one of the key visual shortcomings of VR technology. Known as the “screen door effect”, this is the phenomenon where the eye can detect the fine line between pixels in an image - something which, in VR can hinder immersion and the experience as a whole.

With 8K VR (3840x2160 per eye) you can dive into a world of clarity, while the graininess and "screen door" will never disturb you again, thanks to our awesome 2*3840x2160 resolution.

Seriously wonder what kind of PC it takes to run this bad boy.....any thoughts?

cool, but probably well beyond the money I'd ever be willing to spend, so I don't have to worry about it for another few years

The eighties music lol

I would buy if price is right.

So it's not really "8K" then. Calling it "8K" because each eye has a 4K screen is pretty stupid. Each eye sees 4K on a UHD TV and you don't see them marketed as "8K" tvs.

How heavy is it?

So by this logic, the X1X is an 8K machine, as both eyes see 4K? Interesting...

Maybe they just call if 4K to be respectful of people who only have one eye.

I was also thinking that.

But the games do render in 2x the vertical resolution. So 3840x2160 per eye would be:

7680x2160

So I guess that's why they are calling it 8K ?

There's plenty of one-eyed people on this board...

great for porn horrible for video games

Cheaper ways to puke.
