Today at CES I have been able to go hands-on with two Pimax products: the Pimax Crystal Super and the 60G Airlink for wireless connection. Unluckily there was no Dream Air to try, but I had fun anyway with the two other products.

Before describing my experience, take in mind that CES has been very frenetic so my hands on these two devices lasted only a few minutes, not enough for an exhaustive review. To make things worse, the demo conditions were also terrible because of the poor network and the many interferences at the event venue. So take what I’m writing as just some “first impressions” that could change after an attentive product analysis.

Pimax showed me products that were still work-in-progress. But while the 60G Airlink left me with the impression that there is still a lot of work to do, the Pimax Crystal Super gave me hope. I think that this headset, with its wide FOV and resolution, can provide great immersion, more than what is currently available on the market. But to do that, it has to solve its problems with the weight and especially with the distortion profile of the lenses. I hope that by mid-year, they will be able to sort it out.

(Warning: Pimax is the king of half baked VR.)
