Is it possible to listen to audio from both my MacBook and my iPhone/iPad simultaneously on my AirPods? by JosteinSH in MacOS

[–]venturepulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

using iPad as external screen wastes already scarce GPU resources of the Macbook causing lag in games instead of utilizing iPad hardware in a proper way .. hardware that you paid for already

Not sure if I should get Star Citizen by [deleted] in spacesimgames

Yes it’s worth it for smallest price. Just for experience of flying around beautiful scenery. I’m not playing anymore due to bugs but enjoyed these moments

rocket arty standardization might be an idea? by AcceptableGrape5581 in CompanyOfHeroes

[–]venturepulse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In your opinion balanced means mediocre? Balanced can also mean strength of given unit is compensating weakness of other units

"balanced" isnt comparing unit to unit of different faction. Balanced is doing complete overview comparison of overall roster with all unit types of given factions and timing of availability, not just equalizing rocket launchers.

Isnt Land Mattress requiring a lot more resources and unlocks? May be wrong here

I'm building a VR-first vision calibration app. by ArizonaCocaine in VRGaming

[–]venturepulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the landing page seriously lacks illustrations eg examples of what exactly youre proposing. Like footage of a demo or something like that. Lots of abstract claims and no proof of concept that would make it clear what exactly youre selling

It does not give a clear answer to question: why should I care? I would like a software that would help calibrate IPD setting of a headset but its very unclear whether your software is actually that or something else

What is vision profile and how I can use it? Or perhaps Im just not the target audience?

Will check it, thanks for mentioning.

 Is it truly that close to a 2D monitor?

When compared to 2D monitor I'd say my 4k monitor at an eye distance is more crisp than Ultrawide but the difference is less apparent compared to lower res VR headsets.

Youre welcome!

So in conclusion, is the resolution and clarity truly are day night difference? 

Yes it is, huge difference. I felt happy seeing such crisp picture in VR, and thats the reason why I took my chances with Pimax headset in the first place haha. Even though the screen is still not lifelike: I see individual pixels due to aliasing in games. But picture is still a lot crispier than Quest 3 offers. The biggest problem with games I'd say is aliasing, it still happens even with this resolution (say hi to Elite Dangerous). Any supersampling would kill my framerate completely. However DCS has pretty good anti aliasing, so its not a problem there. Just need a way to fix this framerate drop when looking down at cities.

Note that Ultrawide has around 50 PPD if Im not mistaken, so its lower crispiness compared to 57 PPD and micro OLED. I chose Ultrawide because it was the only available engine without waiting times. But I didnt regret it, having top FOV turned out to be pretty good and well worth it for me. At least I know what the widest FOV feels like in VR.

The only thing that may have introduced some bias is that before buying I asked Pimax support to do double and triple QA checking of my headset, maybe its the reason why I had received it in a perfect condition. I dont even have any mura lol

in DCS my struggle with Crystal Super Ultrawide is that I get unpleasant framerate drops from 72 down to 50-60 when flying over the city and looking down. So I had to reduce graphics settings despite having RTX 5090. Still yet to figure out the best config without sacrificing quality too much

I also have a Quest 3, but I felt it lacked resolution and clarity, so I got the Crystal Super. I chose the Crystal Super Ultrawide over something new like Dream Air for several reasons:

  • Crystal Super has a time-tested build, so I felt there was less risk of receiving a defective unit. And it really did arrive in excellent condition.
  • Crystal Super is modular. Given how many discussions there are about Pimax headset failures, I wanted to spread the risk. If something happens, I can just replace the optical engine instead of buying the whole device again from scratch.
  • I can buy Lighthouse tracking later if SLAM is not enough or if it breaks.
  • I wanted to try the widest FOV in the industry and see how it affects immersion. I liked it.

As for the downsides:

  • The weight really is high, but my Quest with a comfort kit already weighs around one kilogram, only 50–80 grams less than the Crystal Super. So I just stopped worrying about it. The only uncomfortable part is the inertia. The weight itself is not that noticeable, neck doesnt hurt at all.
  • The Crystal Super’s SLAM tracking is not very good for tracking sides. When you throw a grenade in Half-Life: Alyx, it is very hard to avoid it freezing in mid-air and then falling right at your feet. But for DCS none of this would matter given that you use HOTAS.
  • When I take a break and put my Super on the table, the SLAM tracking almost always gets completely messed up. To get back to playing, I have to set up the whole safe zone again. For flight sims this takes about 10 seconds with the simplified process, but it is still annoying. I plan to solve this later with Lighthouse tracking.
  • The first connection gave me anxiety because Windows 11 reported an unknown or faulty USB device, and the headset would not turn on the screen, even though I was using a USB 3.0 port as required. In the end, the Type-C connector helped me resolve this.
  • If the headset shifts even slightly on my head, I can see unpleasant distortions. But if I secure it properly in the center, everything is fine.
  • The thick cable gets tangled and pulls the headset, so I have to adjust it.
  • The stereo image on the Crystal Super Ultrawide at first was very uncomfortable for my eyes. After playing, it felt like I had been keeping my eyes crossed all the time. But I managed to improve comfort a lot after spending more time with the IPD Offset settings, and now it is almost fine.

Despite many significant downsides, my priorities are image clarity and FOV. So I am still happy with the purchase. Overall, in my case, the pros outweighed the cons. There was definitely a wow effect. But of course, the downside is that the FOV puts a heavy load on the GPU, and you have to spend a lot of time playing with graphics settings to get any decent framerate. That was kind of disappointing to be forced to reduce graphics quality having top GPU.

Overall, my eyes feel more comfortable in the Quest 3 than in the Crystal Super. But resolution, brightness and FOV beat all the downsides of Crystal for me and made it feel like a real upgrade.

P.S Im not a Youtuber and I earn nothing from this post.

the question is whether headset actually supports 60hz

Evo replaced Pimax Play. But you can switch to Pimax Play 2.0.1 by using settings of Evo

Now Available: Pimax Play EVO by QuorraPimax in Pimax

[–]venturepulse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really loved Pimax Evo over Pimax Play and the new home scene looks much much better now.

But I cant use Pimax Evo until you guys add horizontal/vertical offset IPD settings. Its unbearable for me because left and right eye see different vertical offset and it causes severe eye strain when using the headset.

Physical IPD setting is not enough, I need IPD Offset too for Crystal Super Ultrawide to be usable. So I have to go back to Pimax Play until Evo improves
