Anyone have experience with Pimax?
I am looking at getting a Samsung Odyssey or Pimax (better FOV and resolution) for my 1st VR head set. It seems like Odyssey can work with BMS, at least functioning as a monitor strapped to your head. Odyssey seem like an all inclusive device that I have been looking for, 6 DOF with 1 to 1 tracking and OK resolution (reduced screen door effect) in one device. I have a very small area for gaming and don’t want to clutter it with devices (trackir and other sensors). Having 3D objects in stereoscopic effect is not important as long as the device can function like a monitor in game.
I’m not trying to put down Pimax, but a real concern I have about Pimax is that it is a small company in China and they might be just trying to capitalize on the VR buzz to make a quick buck. Their hardware seems awesome, but does software for the device play an important role in VR (I don’t know much about VR yet)? If so, would Pimax keep supporting their product once it’s out, or are they going to move on to their next (more profitable) project/hardware? If software is as important as hardware for VR devices, I don’t want to have a very expensive paper weight after 1-2 years of purchasing the device.
