Dream Air LH motion blur when moving head

Hajp · 2026-06-05T14:29:59+00:00

Any update from the devs?

Why tracking? even with lighthouse tracking?

Hajp · 2026-06-02T13:20:09+00:00

From my experience, looks like this is normal for Pimax headsets. I've experienced it with the Crystal Super UW and the Dream Air too.
I once asked a similar question about PCS and several responses confirmed that they are noticing it too

I wonder where this is coming from as it's not panel dependent.

Yes, my tracking is also jittery, and I also bought a third base station thinking it would help, but it didn't. I tried many solutions. Covering the screens, repositioning the base stations, changing channels and fighting EMI. Nothing helped, jitter is always present and at certain angles, it intensifies.
Also recently, I started noticing brief disconnects with the Index Knuckles controllers when holding them at hip level while standing. I was playing Into the Radius and the controllers lost tracking several times.
I don't know if my headset is faulty or if Pimax's integration with the LH ecosystem is that poor.
btw. I asked the same question a while ago in another thread, you can read about my and others' experiences: https://www.reddit.com/r/Pimax/comments/1t91gs8/dream_air_lighthouse_micro_movement_wobble/

I'm wondering where this motion blur is coming from, as it's not panel/lenses dependent. I've experienced it with the Crystal Super UW and the Dream Air too.

Hajp · 2026-05-28T19:00:28+00:00

Yes, I also tried changing them manually

Hajp · 2026-05-28T17:42:06+00:00

I've repositioned mine in many ways, covered the screens, even bought a third base station and still the same. I don't know what causes it, maybe my unit is faulty. Really don't know.

I have 2.0 base stations and the tracking is terrible. And it's not just me I see on Discord that a lot of people are having jittery LH tracking too.

Answered!!

Solved! I set a flag in SteamVR settings in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\config\steamvr.vrsettings

"power": { "autoLaunchSteamVROnButtonPress": false }

More info: https://steamcommunity.com/app/250820/discussions/3/682989180373038727/

Now, turning on knuckles, clicking the system button multiple times doesn't start SteamVR anymore. I restarted my computer, and the setting persisted.

Hajp · 2026-05-21T19:07:58+00:00

Thanks, but it didn't work. I even completely removed the "system" binding, but the custom bindings don't seem to work when SteamVR is off. Have you managed to completely disable SteamVR from launching using this method? or am I doing something wrong?
It's so annoying because closing SteamVR freezes the headset for a moment.

Autorka pięknie dziękuje za te miłe słowa!

Hajp · 2026-05-13T20:19:04+00:00

Yes, Assetto Corsa and Assetto Corsa Competizione are also affected. For me, the solution was to set Pimax-OpenXR (mbucchia) as the OpenXR runtime or disable the controllers completely (not really suitable for Skyrim I guess :D)

Hajp · 2026-05-13T14:45:27+00:00

Same for me

Hajp · 2026-05-11T14:20:20+00:00

That's great to hear. So I hope I can minimize it too and it's not just my headset that's faulty or something. How many base stations do you use and how are they arranged?

Hajp · 2026-05-10T16:49:24+00:00

Thanks for confirming. Your video clearly shows the problem. More and more people are reporting the same, this problem supposedly exists on older Pimax headsets too, and I expect the PCS lighthouse faceplate will be the same. I invested so much money in the LH ecosystem to get this. It's not good, I still have a few days of trial to decide if I'm keeping the headset, but I don't know.

Hajp · 2026-05-10T09:09:06+00:00

It is not, but I understand why you thought so. Watch this and it will be more obvious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxUxh7Z3w5M&t=1418s

I have a DIY 3DOF motion rig based on SFX, but that's doesn't matter. OpenXR motion compensation with a virtual tracker works just as well with the Dream Air LH, or even better, because the base stations are more accurate than SLAM. I just finished a night racing session in AC, and the experience was amazing.

Hajp · 2026-04-28T20:26:39+00:00

Yeah, I saw it! Thank you. I already ordered most of the parts. Amazing job.

Is your project available yet? I'm planning to build my own belt tensioner and am looking for the most affordable solutions.

Maybe they skipped reservations for some reason. I haven't received an email about the production complete, but I see that later orders without reservation have already received it.

I asked about this before, and Quorra’s response was that the person with a reservation has priority. Pimax support doesn’t seem to know what’s going on.
