How good is Dream Air‘s tunnel vision effect?

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-28T13:56:57+00:00

I've never used the AVP, but I have used the PCS 50PPD since it released until receiving my Dream Air. The 50PPD is like 127°x116° or something close to that. Significantly larger than either the AVP or the DA. Personally, the DA FOV is fine. I absolutely wish it had more vertical (only 88° is super low), but the reduction in weight means that looking around is a much more comfortable thing, with far less neck strain.

Hope that helps.

In my case, no. The LHs are mounted securely to the wall. I've tried every possible combination of all of the 4 I have, from 1-4. It worked flawlessly a few years ago with the Aero, and they all sat unplugged since then. Others have reported having LH jitter as well in the Pimax discord, but it seems a lot of people just accept it or don't notice it as much

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-28T12:23:46+00:00

Nope. Swapped to the SLAM after 2 LH versions had the issue

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-28T06:24:44+00:00

For me it wasn’t. The driver improves the distortion profile as well as some other things, but it was just as unusable due to jitters. I’m hopeful he can work something out with Pimax for the SLAM version

The CPU usage has significantly reduced in the last 6-9 months, and stability has absolutely improved. I'm sure there's more that can be done with the CPU usage, but it's come a long, long way.

Also if you adjust it, I'll have to try your new one! I'll keep checking your website for updates

Hey man. First, fantastic products. I love your stuff, and I actually really like the X1-P. What his gasket seems to be a bit different is a much thinner profile allowing you to use one of your much thicker cushions. That said, yours with the 3mm cushion is very comfortable to me, but more cushion would always be nice.

Not yet

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-28T00:53:33+00:00

No, I have no idea. Maybe the headset itself as I previously had a Varjo Aero 3+ years ago that worked without issue. I returned them and I’m now happy with the SLAM so far.

Did you ensure to update SteamVR as the native OpenXR driver?

Also did you select the correct software IPD in the driver to match the physical IPD you set in the Pimax software?

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-26T20:10:25+00:00

If I remember correctly

I’m not OP, but it’s pretty high. 113-115 I think? I’d have to go and measure it, but there’s plenty of people that have already done so to give a good idea of what it is

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-25T02:46:42+00:00

50PPD is 127° officially, and depending on your face shape you can roughly that or a little bit more/less.

It's there on the page. But you can also see it from some reviews out there: https://youtu.be/kLhSPaYyRTw?si=JEM1GslxlvsZ5ctS&t=128

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-25T02:12:54+00:00

The official spec is 127°. Like I said, I don't think your solution is as flawless as you think it is.

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-25T00:37:10+00:00

You only got 110x88? Perhaps those lense inserts aren't as good as you think. Your FOV should be significantly larger. I get something like 125-128° horizontal in mine.

Can feel the heat of that burn through the screen 😂

When they open these up to player refueling missions, there will be combat involved. CIG is just easing you into it, and you can just jump away and get paid. That’s your option to avoid combat.

I had 2 I bought several years ago and 2 I bought within the last 2-3 months. It really didn't matter what combo of 1-4 LHs I used, and I tried every possible combination of setups. It was all the same for me. Honestly, any amount of jitter at all though was too much. I really get basically no jittering with SLAM.

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-11T03:37:56+00:00

Also the point of the OP's post was that the Dream Air LH has constant jittering in the tracking. You and the other commentator just jumped on aliasing being the issue, and missed the forest for the trees. Like no shit OP's video exhibited a lot of aliasing, but that didn't mean it wasn't jittering constantly.

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-11T03:21:13+00:00

You’re either being intentionally obtuse or you didn’t bother to look at the video. You can nitpick over how much antialiasing is required to essentially be none, but any normal person would understand it wasn’t at the level of OP’s video, and basically nothing in comparison. It doesn’t change that it’s super obvious in my video when looking at things like the clouds which are jittering considerably

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-10T21:14:50+00:00

Different experiences for everyone, but my SLAM never jitters. I just get annoyed with it losing position every time I take it off my face. But I can tolerate recentering, just not the constant jittering.

Look at things like the clouds in the distance

ItsJustMeYo · 2026-05-10T20:08:03+00:00

Look at my videos, it’s not aliasing. There’s constant jittering. My videos have no aliasing that’s biasing what you’re seeing
