    So what are your thoughts about the new Samsung headset and Anroid XR? Are you excited? And what do you think about Pimax Prime?

      The SR1 has 3 inches travel. For my use, that is more than adequate and for normal flying, I would not want anymore. I can get shaken pretty badly if I fly in heavy turbulence or if I crash, so any more movement would be downright very drastic and totally unpleasant.

    Cant wait for android xr and samsung release. It sounds very promising, as for pimax. They have an excellent product , however, i can't help but feel they shot themselves in the foot.
    So unfortunate their ,QA,QC,and customer care is terrible. As Mark said , pimax should be up there at the Top of the tree.in general, I feel very disappointed with pimax

    No, NOT for access to software because drivers and software that are used to operate the headset itself can easily be thrown into that mix. Anything that is necessary to operate the headset should not be held hostage in a subscription. It could lead back to bricking the headset unless we pay. Games and extended warranty are fine.

    As a long-time VR user who expects to increase my usage, I can definitely say I am not going to use AR glasses 24/7. Take the garbage on social media and increase it by an order of magnitude with AI, then imagine putting it on your face, filling your view all day long. It's going to be mayhem. The good thing about VR headsets is that you _don't_ use them around the clock, yet they are immensily more powerful than glasses because of the full immersion. Superpowers used with care can be magic. But the coming social media shit storm full of 99% fakery needs to be kept off your face and your phone as well :)

    • @GYGOtv

      Agreed, I think they will become mass adopted because most people are looking for easy and convenience. I think this is all leading to a dumbing down of the masses and like you say it will just get worse with A.I. I can see how this technology will be amazing like in industrial repair and stuff like that but I do worry about its implications for day to day life. Should be interesting.-

    I could care less about high PPD. - 35, 50, 57, whatever. What determines my next purchase is FOV. After using 5K+ and 8Kx, I'm not going back to looking through binoculars, no matter how clear the picture is.
    I'm already invested in base stations so I'd be happy with a low cost light house faceplate without inside out. Make 2 models - one based on inside out and one with lighthouses.
    What I really want is a Bigscreen Beyond with > 130 FOV. Small size. base station tracking, native SteamVR drivers. I know I'm not alone, Please free market, step up to the plate.

    Samsung Display bought eMagin a while back. They have one of the leading micro OLED Display Designs. They have a design with 4k×4k pixels with a very high brightness. Pancake optics have a relatively large light loss, so you need especially bright displays. So, it's actually very likely that Samsung will use micro OLED instead of QLED.

    Very true on not wearing glasses on VR. I have Rx lenses for all of mine, and plain with no Rx to protect my Headset lenses if I hand it off to a glasses wearer.
    As for Pimax, Mark hit it on the head. They are a schizophrenic company that just keeps getting out of it's own way by flooding the market with a bunch of crap nobody wants or needs rather than focusing on their one actual successful product. And as much as I'd like to have a Crystal Light, the Quest 3 is good enough for PCVR, and there's no way I'd buy into that ridiculous prime program.
    I wonder if we could merge HTC and Pimax and create a single, well adjusted, focused company that doesn't shoot itself in the foot at every opportunity?

Then same happened with the Quest Pro and Quest 3, even better because of the lenses, and Pico 4 I've never use it because USB link on that suck as much as Virtual Desktop compared with USB Link on Quest Pro and Quest 3. So, sorry but may be you haven't tried yet or you are not using the right settings.

And Virtual Desktop, it's good for not too fast motion games/apps, just like any compressed video in UA-cam, the problem it's not with little motion, the problem it's with high detail surfaces moving fast, that create lost of detail and textures, because of the compression, in a racing sim for example, the texture of the asphalt of the track going fast or in a FlightSim at low altitude the trees and details on the ground, it's an smear pixelated mess in Virtual Desktop because the high compressed video streaming from the PC to the headset, and with USB (Wired) Link connection at 900mbits that doesn't happen. Just consider this, a movie in 4K (3820x2160) at 24fps in a BluRay disc (not streaming service) use around 35mbits in H265 codec (Av1 it's created for low bitrates not high bitrates, that's why it's used in streaming video platforms and apps like OBS), and it's good, but 200mbit in AV1 or H265 or H264 for 4096x2208 at 72fps it's not enough, but 900mbits, it is, and you can tell if you compare.
