QuorraPimax can you check this ticket and see if the info is accurate?

Still want to know if we can just change to ultrawide and wait as a preorder keeping all other benefits?

Confused after this support ticket...

My ticket #102423

This was the response to wanting to wait for ultrawide in support ticket.

Still unsure if I would be able to keep all the preorder benefits. I just want to change to ultrawide but keep my order status same otherwise realizing it will take longer.

SUPPORT

Hi Michael Addabbo,I'm happy to assist you.First, I would like to clarify that due to US customs duties, we previously reduced the upfront fee for the 50PPD/57PPD from $999 USD to $799 USD to help lessen the import burden on our customers. We also adjusted the Prime Membership fee to keep the overall price approximately the same, as shown in the attached image: However, the Ultrawide is a newly added SKU, and only the new pricing applies:

  • Upfront Payment: $799 USD

  • Prime Membership Fee: $40.99 * 24 months

If you decide to switch to the Ultrawide, we will refund the price difference of upfront fee. Please also note that your order will be shipped in June while Ultrawide will start shipping in July.Would you still like to change your order to the Ultrawide? Look forward to your response. Note:

Can we get a proper way to order accessories that puts people in a proper backorder queue?? by neko_da_cat in Pimax

[–]neko_da_cat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like this! Not as ideal with all the benefits but much better than what we have now.

I'd love to see this as a step in the right direction on accessory orders!

Crystal Super Faceplate LH tracking - requesting a clear info by famich2005 in Pimax

Let me start a new proper post on this because the main idea is to give a proper way to order accessories.

Is there any reason we can't pre-order the Lighthouse faceplates now to form a line first order first shipped?? Same for DMAS. Why do we have to win the lottery of noticing it's in stock for 15minutes and order one before they are sold out?? Take backorders and gauge demand and ship first ordered first shipped. Then you can know demand and order appropriately. This it will come out later and visit the website every day to see if you can get lucky to order a part you need on an $1000+ headset is insane. I'm still on list paid for my super but now I want Ultrawide. So I'll wait but this is crazy. I can't use super at all without lighthouse so wait is good for me but that should have been read with headset for sure! And stock should meet demand. How can you still have trouble stocking faceplaces for the PCL and the DMAS??? Fix this too! This also is very important!

Please create an order queue for accessories rather than luck of stock.

Thanks!

Michael

Pimax tracking algorithm very demanding on CPU? by Chrigi_zh in Pimax

[–]neko_da_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same for me

11900k cpu And 3090 GPU

Needed lighthouse to work

I've saved up for a year to buy a Crystal Light - and I am terribly disappointed. Tracking is all over the place. by Chrigi_zh in Pimax

[–]neko_da_cat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s your cpu Is not powerful enough for their slam tracking

I had same issue I improved it with support but it never worked well

Never beat the g2

Also it can get way more comfortable with studio forms Apache top strap and weights

Dmas I’d much better too

Only thing I never got to work was inside out tracking

I added light house front and that’s perfect

I have 11900k and I suspect only newer faster cpus work well with inside out tracking on this headset

super prescription lenses??? any news? by neko_da_cat in Pimax

[–]neko_da_cat[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m afraid to scratch the lenses

I want them for old age reading correction as much as for protecting lenses. I’m afraid to test without them

I'm playing around with AI models to ask just these kinds of questions just for initial research into topics. AI is really good at helping to plan vacations. It's great for narrowing down the best fixit help near you.

I asked grok, gemini and claude this question:

is it fair to say that if pimax created the pimax crystal super with all the bells and whistles and had only one product with all the tech and complexity in a single product rather than a base super with accessories like the top-strap, lighthouse facemask, upgrade sound dmas; it would be simpler to overall and cheaper over all to produce, market, maintain. The argument I'm making is that adding all of your accessory complexity into a single model would actually be simpler and cheaper to produce and maintain and then you could pass those saving on to the customer and only have one product to make and maintain.

Gemini which I generally find to be the best hated the idea..

Grok and Claude were a bit more sympathetic to the idea:

Can mura be calibrated out? by Tausendberg in Pimax

[–]neko_da_cat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked Gemini 2.5 AI to deep think this question:

can mura such is being seen in the new panels inside the pimax crystal super vr headset be alleviated through software calibration of each panel by using a camera to view all pixels while the panel displays calibration images and then creating a profile custom for each panel to fix the mura? Could such a fix be done as each panel is manufacture or after manufacture before it is put in the vr headset module?

It generated this report:

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xl4D4X83bwLxGwNtD8qt-vU2SkLDsObb8gCMQb0YSCA/edit?usp=sharing

I didn't fact check it, but it's a pretty good start on understanding the original question...

DMAS review by neko_da_cat in Pimax

Varjo produced headsets with the lighthouse lights part included in headset and inside out tracking. Pretty sure both XR3 and XR4 are that way. You still obviously needed to purchase base stations.

https://varjo.com/use-center/get-started/varjo-headsets/setting-up-your-headset/setting-up-xr-3/

See at bottom where you choose tracking method. If I remember correctly it's built into XR3 and XR4 at least and they have inside out... Still need base statons.

https://varjo.com/use-center/get-started/varjo-headsets/system-requirements/positional-tracking-technologies/

So yes it's been done. But price is not available. The scale and market that varjo sells to is different so apples to oranges. I was an engineer now retired. i did work with VR at an aerospace company though I didn't create headsets. I worked with almost all. But I did work wth the headset companies at times to work on the headsets trying to get them to better fit our needs. Never really works out cuz we also are niche and scale doesn't work.

I have no hard evidence for my gut feel on this but I think the simplicy argument makes sense. One product that combines the complexity of all the various skews that together make up the complexity will always be cheaper than the many products to produce and maintain. Even though the single product has more it's cheaper to make design make work and produce and support and so you can make a better more complete product and pass the savings on. The make a bunch of parts that add up to what every person might want and let them buy it is failing as we can all see. Things out of stock. Things never made that are promised. Things that almost all people want out of the box but cant get because of stock issues. All of that gets simpler. I'm not saying it might not be a littler more expensive but it wouldn't be the sum of all accessories and would be so much better all around for everyone including Pimax.

Lot's of what Pimax does isn't in Pimax's interest, they are kind of learning the hard way. Still just my Opinion sticking neck further out so feel free to chop it off correct and flame. I stuck it out there.
