👨 About me
My name is Thomas, born in 1983, and I run this VR/AR channel completely alone. With me you can be sure that you will receive tough and honest reviews of games, software and hardware. Why is that? I see my RUclips work as a fun hobby and am completely independent of it due to my full-time job as an IT administrator.

your frustration feels very genuine. i'm kind of blown away that they could screw up the vr on this so badly.
Voodoo is probably the only one who’s surprised by this 😂😂😂
🙈
What if you buy the QLED version and hook it up to a PC?
Funny thing is that Pimax Portal does standalone VR better than Pimax Crystal.
also i meant to ask , during dev on this i commented on fact that it looked like a complete pain / impossible to clean any dust that got inside the slot that the device goes into in the vr headset part. Is there any accessibility at all to clean the exposed inside surface of the lenses inside that slot. like does whole front plate come off?
Thank you Thomas for this great and entertaining review. After watching this and knowing how long Pimax has been in business and that they still don’t listen to you or their customers, I am proud to say that I have never, nor will ever support Pimax or buy any of their products. I have 0 tolerance for stupidity and for cluelessness executives making the exact same mistakes over and over again as Pimax as a company does continuously. I understand your frustration and how much you like Pimax’s hardware, but they are a very stupid company who don’t deserve to still be in business as they purposely self sabotage their own products and set themselves up for failure. It’s as if they really don’t want to be successful.
If they had made this OpenXR compliant then it might of had a chance, at least it would have PCVR streaming with things like ALVR. This is an actual tragedy to see such amazing hardware go to waste.
Who made this thing? Pimax? Oh wait….
Very good review
Oh my god, this thing actually got made and came out?!
It looks way better as a VR headset than i thought, shame if there is no SteamVR support. Maybe the issue is that they think they would be competing with something like Pico4 if they invested more into this.
The biggest issue in standalone is these closed ecosystems, its so insane that games cant be developed to some open standard and work across these devices. All of them use the same chips.
The battery looks like an Atari jaguar cartridge !
And this is why… I am getting the Pimax Portal for Christmas. It’s at least cheaper, affordable and you can still enjoy 4K content! 😊
Edit: I hope I fixed my grammar.
@pimax please just get us Virtual Desktop! That's all we need. This product is almost there. The software already exist to fix these issues.
Hey Thomas, is it possible to install Virtual Desktop on the device?
Not really
@@voodoodevr-en you cam record VR mode with the Pimax App on a mobile device and maybe even pc. It also records audio from the vr mode.
Is there a list of the available VR games that you can share with us?
I wonder if you can use other VR apps on Google play like Google cardboard or other VR games or watch the VR marked RUclips videos
I would hope that they would get some contracts and licensing to add more in the future. They probably just haven't received any approvals yet.
Yup. Needs good wireless steam VR
Pimax should fire at least half of their staff and hire competent people. They always seem to have some cool ambitious ideas, but always deliver some half arsed product in the end beside Crystal.
I grimace every time someone pulls a device out of a box by the thumb sticks.
The controller setup is actually better than their full fledged VR controllers. How strange.
He's really worked up about that VR experience being so bad.
It’s maybe that they will add games and pc support in the future as it’s only just come out and you know what pimax is like in releasing unfinished hardware vr headsets and it’s software support so don’t get too disheartened at the moment and just wait a little - it was the same with the crystal but it’s now a lot better than last year .
13:28 - It really is quite bad that support for VR, though you, VooDoo, are wrong had they ACTUALLY worked to bring games and content or at least something like Steam Link, Air Link, or Virtual Desktop to help with VR content existing, then this would be okay. Afterall look what came of Oculus Go... THE QUEST 1-3 HMDs "That no one wanted" leading to actual wireless HMDs that unlike the Oculus Rift S didn't have a cord.
Pimax really is their own worst enemy, Pimax 12K coming out(?) alongside Apple Vision Pro, Valve's Index Successor(?), Somninum VR1, BigScreen Beyond, Varjo Aero, Varjo XR-4 + Focal Edition, and whatever Samsung and others release in 2024! They really dropped the ball!
Rip. Robin always had a wild ambition. He makes innovative products that you don't see very often nowadays while being inspired by the best portion of other devices that we know and love. However I think he needs to slow down and allow the software side of things to catch up and be refined. I'm his defense though, the software can improve over time without costing the consumer any more money just time. While if the hardware was bad then there would be no hope because no one would buy it, knowing it will be replaced very quickly
Innovative? You're brainwashed
9:30 - So, you didn't even try the "12" VR Pimax games? Why? ...Not sure why Pimax didn't work to bring Steam VR, Oculus/Meta, and View games streamable like Oculus/Meta Air Link or Steam Link... seems like that would be a priority especially for broading the HMD only other Reality series products....
Were codes for the 12 games not provided to reviewers?
Why should I show them? They suck and also there is no way to record them
Did you watch Pimax videos about their employees? None of them was in VR and most of them didnt even had a headset before working at Pimax. This explain a lot of things.
@@WiseAcres-iz1muoh found a pimaxian lmao
So the Steam Link app that you have installed will not allow you to play any of your SteamVR games…? That would be so cool if you could play your SteamVR content from your PC using that device. How does it look from inside the Headset…? It would be so cool if you could play meta quest games using this thing as well. I am glad I decided not to get this thing back when they had the kick starter because, I felt like it would be unfinished product. Pimax is building a reputation of being unreliable. I do ❤️ the ideas but, the products to me seem lack lusters that are expensive. Thanks for sharing Voodoo DE you’re Awesome!
If we know anything about Pimax, it's that we have to let them cook even after release. Give it a year or two and it will probably be the coolest thing on the market. Meta integrations is something you'd be better off looking for diamonds in Antarctica. They'd never give up their exclusives. Same with playstation.
@@ozerune Oh I am sure these talented hackers we have out here can find a way to get it all to work. 😉👌 but, yeah Pimax has some good ideas, I ❤️ the FOV of the Pimax8KX I used to have. They need to get a game that will help them stand out. Maybe, they can call up SEGA and have them make them a One of a Kind VR game and make it exclusive for Pimax headsets. I am down to play some Sonic VR or better yet Golden Axe, could you imagine a VR version of Altered Beast! A modernized Next Gen version of course. Streets of rage VR would be cool too. 😉👌😁👍
What I'm seeing here is that Pimax made an okay-ish ~$500-400 standalone headset but they just didn't give it OpenXR support? What the hell? It doesn't look they're selling anymore
No steam VR - WTF , This is a joke right ? Not even virtual desktop
Yes, it is a shame.
If only i had seen this video a month earlier i would not have bought this thing. It arrived yesterday and I got it because i wanted to play vrchat and other vr steam games but now i guess it'll be collecting dust in my room until they make thqt happen, I got baited so bad mate
im pretty sure it works now but i bought the retro and the gave me the qled and installed a custom rom
@@xxzenonionnex7658 how did you make it work?
The ps remote play button does not support it
Your joking?
bonjour j adore vos vidéos. pourriez vous me dire quel firmware vous avez pour le pimax portal car moi j ai le portal + le headset vr mais je n arrive pas a lancer la VR il me demande de configurer mon espace de jeu et sa se bloque .Merci
this has to be fixed somewhere down the line. Maybe they rushed it for Christmas.
What has to be fixed? The lower starting price point of $149 for the base model is probably their Christmas price push.
@@paulct91if you watch the video to the end, you will see that there's no software for the VR mode.
I bought my QLED Portal I think in February, took them ten months to produce the headset... & might I add with no warning that the actual headset didn't exist yet... Just the marketing for the whoie 'It plays everything BS'.... I would not consider that a rush. This is overpriced garbage.
Nintendo Labo VR has better vr content lol
Yes
so true it hurts
