Hi Enthusiasts,
Thanks a lot for your passion about Pimax 8K!
As mentioned in the founder announcement (link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pimax8kvr/pimax-the-worlds-first-8k-vr-headset/posts/222575254), the obstacles that prevent us from mass production have been eliminated.
The team and the testers are working together to speed up the product iterations. We will ship the new hardware to some of the testers soon.
Only the beta tester reviews of the final hardware and software, and the official announcements, are the trustworthy sources of information.
Please stay tuned for the in-depth reviews of Pimax 5K and 8K from the testers when the closed beta ends!
This is a sign of confidence then that once this beta phase is over, they will allow the testers to review the M1, M2 whatever it is called. Only a matter of time now then depending on what hardware revisions have been made and how long it takes to ship these out and get the feedback.
Tick Tock!

Probably why Oculus is shooting for around 140 degrees with curved lens to keep the form factor close to the same, those guys I think really know what they are doing.

Wide FOV optics are really, really, really hard to do well and brute forcing it can result in intolerable visual aberrations. Distortion correction in VR does not follow textbook rules of optics and distortion naivety is the achilles heel of a large number of headset manufacturers.

Two there’s nothing else to buy for £402 unless you pay another £398 on a Vive Pro.
Heyho these thing happen.
