Pimax is a leading innovator in the Virtual Reality (VR) industry, which unveiled its latest technological advancements at CES 2024, held from January 9th to 12th. At an exclusive event for special guests, attendees were privileged to experience the revolutionary 60G AirLink wireless module, paired with Pimax’s current flagship product, the Pimax Crystal. The integration of the 60G AirLink with the Crystal’s standard eye-tracking feature elevates it to being the world’s first ultra-high-definition VR headset with wireless connectivity. Read more:

Good for Pimax. They are really pushing the boundaries of VR and still seem extremely passionate about it. Glad they're here to make VR great again.
Is that Palmer Luckey ?
yep!
Will the wireless module be able to work in combination with the Lighthouse tracking faceplate?
It should, because Lighthouse tracking doesn't use radio frequency. But it'd be good for Pimax to confirm.
Apparently not
I don't believe so, which is extremely disappointing.
Palmer Luckey approved.
military grade 😂
Will it work at "maximum" resolution and "refresh rate" with the Pimax 12K QLED? Or just the Crystal? Can it even work with the Portal? Portal+View?
From what they are saying the resolution will be slightly lower than even the max for the crystal, so no, this won't be anywhere near the max resolution for the 12k.
That is awesome. That is what I have been waiting for to upgrade soon.
4:17 - Woot, Naysy! Huh, I guess she also made it to CES 2024?
Hopefully the team can do something about that battery and USB cord...reminds me of the HTC vive wireless dongle...that cord was attached the same way and is a nuisance
I always found it best to Velcro mount the 21w 10000mahr Vive Wireless Adapter battery on top of the rear headstrap. Worked well with my Vive Pro 1. Pity it was like having an operating toaster on your head though, lol! Also, it tended to kill FPS performance by about 25-30% in non-optimized multi-thread sims like msfs. Hopefully, Pimax has solved this problem with their wigi software/firmware. I don't have a lot of faith that they have done so themselves, but maybe Intel's latest wigi v2 software will help, who knows?
My VP1 with Etsy Gear VR lens mod and Index controllers is still a force to be reconned with imho. Especially with a i913900k/rtx4090/32Gb 6400ram, being able to add heaps of super sampling. SDE is still a little more than I'd like thanks to its lower Index-like res (1400x1600). Still pretty hard to beat in darkish environments thanks to those beautiful AMOLED screens. This is still my preferred headset for dusk to dawn night flying with msfs. I'm still waiting for better micro-oled headsets with pancake lens to come out. Maybe a VP3, or Index2? The Pimax 12K QLED may also be worth considering and I'll be keeping an eye out for that one as well.
They said that won't be needed for the final version. Only the small dongle will be needed.
Been reading search and.. it has some problems that they do try to fix but. I can't justify the price.
The image quality of the Crystal headset is seriously like nothing I've ever seen before in VR, it's mind blowing. Flying in MSFS for instance seriously looks like you're in a real plane (provided you have an RTX 4090 so that you can really max out the settings in MSFS). It was very much worth the cost for me.
Will 120hz be possible on wireless?
72 is too low.
I actually prefer 72hz. It makes all games run better at high resolutions and settings and really can't tell a difference between 72 and 90. I wouldn't count on 120hz anytime soon. That's a LOT of speed with a LOT of data to move through the air...
He said it was running at 72fps not 72hz
1:37 - No, pretty sure that might not work, doesn't this require line of sight and limited wireless pollution? or is that only WiGi?
The average wireless even at an arcade is going to be nothing compared to CES. They were having issues there since everyone and their grandma was using wifi there and had a thousand different access points, hence the need for the faraday cage there. In any standard environment this should work fine even if you have a few of them in use at the same time.
cant wait for free reviews, wouldn't be suprised if the bad stuff was cut out from this compilation
It's "tested"by people who never really used vr, so they are impressed with everything
@@SINfromPLdo you know who Palmer Luckey is lol
@@JaapGrolleman do you nkow you and sweviver are the only white people left working for this scummy company? your presentations are pathethic; joshua at least had some charm xD
MRTV did a review of it which seemed quite impartial and objective.
@@rawdmon does he now? Usually he overhypes everything
So, does this require any additional hardware, and will there be an additional charge for 60G Airlink?
I would have to say yeah. Expect at the very least the price of the vive wireless pro adapter + 50-100 dollars (since it's similar hardware and inflation).
Will this require the PC to be hard wired to the wireless router?
But where's our wireless solution for our Kickstarter 5K's?!
never happening. Stop bitching about it. There aren't even 4 people from back then still at the company. It's entirely new staff.
@@cheeeeezewizzzwhat stuff? Two main guys just left the company lol
@@cheeeeezewizzz Stop bitching? Pimax screwed a TON of people the past 5-6 years and you want everyone to just forget about it??? haha... FU Pimax ;) Pimax=Garbage junk. My Pimax garbage is collecting dust in the closet. I feel sorry for anyone still using their pre beta junk.
What’s the approximate release on the wireless module? During ‘24 or later?
Who knows, I'm still waiting for the 12K QLED, and now finally EVEN the Crystal is being applied towards the trade-in program, for only $800, though.
I'd be surprised if it doesn't release by the end of 24. They seem like they are almost there based on the demos.
What is the usb c cord on the side for? To keep the battery charged?
The prototype uses a powerbank for some extra juice. The final product won't have that.
72hz?
Nice, closer to the (minimum) 90hz goal.
Would WiFi7 being able to reach higher closer? Any where closer to the max proposed refresh rate of 200hz (PC mode) or 120hz (standalone) mode?
@@paulct91Possibly, but wifi 7 would require some kind of video compression to hit those numbers and then you start running in to potential latency issues.
I hate that Aircar still remains as one of the best ways to show off VR. We need new content. lol
uevr
It's not. This is pimax. They used to demo their "high end" with fruit Ninja
I like Aircar as a demo because you just need to look and still the visual quality is pretty high.
@@JaapGrolleman stop shilling, it came out in 2017. Pimax high end my ass
I'm just telling why I chose Aircar (I was giving the demo at CES). @@SINfromPL
We wish the headset is bigger.
Hahahaha
Sounds great.
Be awesome if you could use it with other headsets?
I'm not a fan of their current lineup.
Waiting on a Bigscreen Beyond.
What does the 60G mean?
amount of Hz
@@3lbios I hope it can achieve at least 72_90
Vive Wireless and TPCast were also around 60Ghz
@@adrenalinejunkie3828 thank you 👍
It refers to the wavelength (how closely the waves are spaced together). Standard wifi is 5ghz so 60ghz has the waves packed much more closely together, which results in a much shorter range but also means that more data can be transmitted.
This is very exciting, can't wait until they release the final product. Right now having the headset be battery operated is largely pointless. This will give it purpose.
When 12k
Yes, when indeed, maybe March 2024, they had a weird cutoff date of March 31st 2024 for applying $800 off a Crystal to 12K QLED trade-in. Which is confusing since the 12K Is obviously not out yet.
From the weird grammar or worded sentence about a trade-in from their January 16th 2024 email blast.
When you can run it. So next year with 5000 lol
@@soundscaperecordings1111 I don't think they want to come out with a headset where people can only play it with RTX 5090. It's just not profitable because you're not reaching as many users. They're going to have to use DFR. Or come out with a headset that doesn't have to be 200 degree....150 degree will be good enough.
@@reptilexcq2 my point is that even the crystal cannot be used to it's full potential in a lot of games so more pixels or a higher fov to push doesn't seem that ideal but hey maybe if it's good I'll trade in! Who knows!
@@adrenalinejunkie3828 The name will be confusing...people will be like .....is this the 12K? Where is the 12K. If they do come out with a 130-150 FOV for the Crystal, I don't think they should call it Crystal 12K...maybe Crystal X, Crystal Pro, Crystal Elite, Crystal Wide or something.
FIRST!
Impressive, you still don't get a prize though. 😢
May as well stay wired with that form factor. Wireless adds nothing
Wireless makes standing experiences much more comfortable, especially if you're spinning around a lot. That's really the main thing that people would want wireless for. Even with a headset this size I could see myself using wireless to play things like Half-Life Alyx.
Shame it's Pimax doing this and not others. My Pimax garbage is still in my closet with the God awful Sword controllers that never ever worked. Whatever happened to being able to trade our 8K in Pimax???? Liars :( I will never ever ever buy from Pimax again.
