The virtual reality headset category still doesn't seem to have taken off completely, and it's easy to see why. The prices of professional viewers are high and, above all, the minimum requirements for correct operation are important, which therefore require powerful and expensive machines.
We tested the Pimax 5K Plus headset, launched months ago on Kickstarter, which finally becomes a reality for users all over the world. Here is our experience with this new exponent on the stage of viewers.
Let's start, first of all, with the name. Pimax may be unknown to most people, and indeed it is when compared to other more well-known names in the world, such as Oculus, for example. Anyway, just to give the company due credit, Pimax's was one of the most successful Kickstarter campaigns when looking at the VR headset landscape, with over $ 4 million in funding, obtained in the United States at the end of the year. 2017.
Probably, as we will see later, the main strength, which convinced supporters to pay, is the proposed large FOV of 200 ° degrees.
