Great job Jabbers. Very informative. I just now started looking into the primax thing.

 

 

Google says it should be available for retail before next year. Have they commented on that by any chance?

Thanks for the insight. The case for the 5k+ is only getting stronger, maybe we can get the hand tracking module for the difference.

This kickstarter project har given a good upside.

 

AND, preorder is up at 699,-

Soon should be open for pre-order but sweeping will not be before Q1 because it is questionable if they will manage to send all shipments to backers before Christmass as they promise.

 

Jabbers, great review, you answer me on more doubts I have after initial reviews even Svevivers DCS reviews.

 

About 5K, if you backing 8K you are able to switch to 5K+ which is 100$ less so you will be able to choose some additional modules for Pimax5K in that 100$ value. So you can choose this hand tracking module or something like Vive audiostrap but for Pimax, or eye tracking.

 

About this hand tracking maybe now you understand what I was talking about in our debate in Captogloves. Check what I'm trying incouraging people to more participation in that VirtualBox project which could be used in DCS no matter is it Captoglove, Leapmotion, this Pimax hand tracking module or any other VR controller.

 

I don't have anything against any one of them just want to encourage people or even Devs of any of this devices to do something about it because this way could be used in the same way in multiple titles including DCS for ultimate VR cockpit interaction.

 

Now after your experience with Pimax try to be open for such an idea.

Hand tracking without feedback is silly to me, i wasnt really speaking for DCS, i dont want to accidentally slap buttons cause i cant feel them.

I think it is not time yet for haptic feedback. Will be great but why not interaction even without too. I can understand you about it but with CG I was more missing positional tracking.

 

 

BTW Pimax preorders start from today. So they keep a promise about that any price is for my opinion little bit too high just like with Vive Pro.

But that is my personal opinion.

Or even better, fly an adversary the International Symbol of Brotherly Love :)

 

I am an engineer and curious why you thought the 8K has more screen door effect than the 5K, when the reverse should be true. Care to give a technical guess?

 

Well there is no guessing, it is because of the pixel pattern used. The 8k uses a PenTile layout, the 5k+ is RGB Stripe

Thanks for the review Jabbers. I gotta say I was disappointed to hear your thoughts on the 8K. I'll definitely be going for the 5K+. Probably a little less intense on the system requirements anyway.

 

In the end all I want is a better VR experience (I never expected the ultimate) and the FOV along with no screen door will do that for me.

I doubt in Jabbers review accuracy. Simply as you can see on video it is evident how he is wearing flipflops and with flipflops, SDE is more pronounced and could effect on hand tracking module because of picking up additional fingers, more than 10.

Hi jabbers nice review, id just like to let you know it is called pie max. the original 4k model uses raspberry pi hardware and i believe thats the reason they went with the name. also their logo is the pi symbol :P

No bad feelings, it was not my intention. I was just want to show how fully relaxed you was on that meeting.

 

To be honest and as I say before from your report I found out more details I didn't get an answered so far or confirmed some of my assumption based on some other reviews for that product.
