About the new product "Pimax Light"
The recently released Pimax Crystal Light is a flagship next-generation, high-performance VR headset based on the VR3.0 standard. The new Pimax Crystal Light features 35PPD 8k technology, a QLED panel, and Mini-OLED backlight technology. Unlike last year's Pimax Crystal, this one is more affordable, starting at 112,999 yen (tax included). It's also 30% lighter than the previous Crystal Light, and the standard version features in-side-out positioning and comes with a 6Dof positioning controller.
Pimax's proposed VR3.0 concept and its ultimate goal
At a media conference in Shanghai in 2022, Pimax proposed a concept centered on immersion called "VR 3.0," which sets technical standards in three aspects: visual immersion, physical immersion, and cognitive immersion, which is consistent with the philosophy of Apple's Vision Pro.
