coming from a valve index i have ordered a visionary edition, dont need the passthru as my vr adventures are usually limited to flying and driving, and i've grown so accustomed to finding the buttons without seeing them that i don't really need it. i bet it will be a cracking experience and it will allow my 4090 to really stretch its legs. can't wait to hear that doorbell ringing
Okay you had me sold the moment you lifted the headset of the camera lmao wow nice. I was like wtf is this low filter for video review them boom lol nice touch sir.
I still need to use my index until I have enough money to buy the Eye Tracking version :'> This VR Headset is the only acceptable upgrade that I want, I love it :>
Hey Artur, it's good to see you on here communicating with everyone. I have a question about the focal point. I went from a G2 to a Crystal Light. The focal point was uncomfortably close on the Pimax. People are saying 2M with the G2 and 1M with the Crystal. Can you give any information on the VR1's focal point?
@@artursychov That is quite dissapointing. I did not see any lighthouse tracking requirements on Somnium website. And now I see it is not included in the box either. So Price is 2.5k plus lighthouse stations then...
I bought a Crystal Light and sent it back 2 weeks later because it was uncomfortable, clunky, unreliable and the lenses were pretty awful. That was £1000 inc taxes. This.... this looks great but that price tag ... I sweated when I bought the PCL... I just wish consumer VR would just come down in price a bit. Sure it's probably an epic device, but like virtually (!) every other headset that isn't a Meta, they're just too expensive for the average guy to buy. I want this... but I want to eat too. Good review btw! Edit: Just found out it also requires separate basestations. This is a deal breaker - spending £2k AND you need more gear is just lazy IMO.
the Through-The-Lens footage was not convincing, I think it shouldn't have been shown if you couldn't get it right, it gives a bad impression when I bet the visuals are much better than that Hope to see a better one soon because if done well, it helps to understand the quality of the headset to some extent :)
It was a camera limitation, as it was filmed with only 1080p Sony Alpha cameras, we will be doing an extended through the lens with higher resolution cameras soon! - Shodah
WHAT IS THIS CRAPPY IMAGE THROUGH THE LENS ?? Are you serious ? Dude it looks so bad ... And no vs pimax crystal ? U are comparing vr headset like a q3 at 400€...

That was a great review! I really like you style.

Nice video Shodah!
Wish it has face tracking. I'm sure someone will probably make a mount for it for the vive face tracker.

Could we get an ETA on delivery for orders put through right now please? Excellent choice with the Transformers music btw.
January - Feb 2025
@@artursychov oh damn! I should have put my order in sooner, lol. 😂 Does that apply to all variants too? Thanks Artur.
@@DrR1pper yes Sir! 😊
@@artursychov oh gawd nooooo
For now my nr1 choice

Somnium VR1 allows changing focal distance electronically inside the software. Check in the video here ruclips.net/video/2xkKfp5cYy0/видео.html
does we need for the trackings something else? or does it work without anything only with Headset itself?
It is lighthouse tracked headset.
@@artursychov so in this case, i need 2 basestations and controllers right? or does it work only with my hands?
@@hoveringpilotdepending on variant you buy you can have inbuilt hand tracking. But yes, we recommend Index Controllers or etee controllers

Amazing quality and specs come with a higher price... Unfortunately nothing we can do about it.
But sill no micro oled screens... for me a big miss
Micro OLED screens bring a LOT of downsides - small FOV being one of them. So nah, it is too early for micro OLED so far.
@@artursychov PSVR2 has a very good fov and its micro oled.
@@crimsom2977 PSVR2 is OLED, not micro OLED ;)

130 FOV? emm...
what the hell is that digital compression.. :| ruclips.net/video/PasnfdT1f8Q/видео.html

@@ArturTechTales bull shIt
@@crimsom2977 you are dumb.
The “review “ was fine until I saw the comparison with Index and Quest3. Come on guys, you can do better than that.
The two most used headsets on steams hardware survey? Showing three lens types?
5 years old 1000€ and standalone 500€? What about a real competition?
Honestly you can't base it on just that since through the lens don't do the headsets justice. All three of them also got different lenses.

And no vs pimax crystal ? U are comparing vr headset like a q3 at 400€...
