I'm super excited for the Pimax 8K headset [0], supposedly shipping early this year. This resolution upgrade shows that HTC is still in the game though, contrary to the rumors that they are giving up.

- errantspark 9y agoI wouldn't be, hardware is one thing (that's hard to get right), but as the FOVE that's been collecting dust in my living room for the past year or so can attest, without proper software support it doesn't matter how cool your hardware is.
- T-A 9y agoWhat worries me most about the Pimax 8k is that you will need at least two 1080 Ti in SLI to drive it at full resolution, and even that may not be enough. I'd definitely wait for the next GPU generation to roll out (should be soonish now) before committing.
- intrasight 9y agoFoveal vision only sees a few degrees of the visual field. Last year's GPU is plenty powerful enough to render the foveal portion in high-res and peripheral at decreasing res. Better headsets with eye tracking are needed.
- refulgentis 9y agoJust like Vive, PiMax is a SteamVR headset.
- zamalek 9y agoA word of warning: there are rumors of it having the same black bleed/smear issue that that DK2 had. The Vive supposedly solves this by only allowing a few shades above true black, so maybe Primax can solve this before launch.
