After previously being teased
earlier this month, Pimax has officially launched its Kickstarter campaign to
raise funds Pimax 8K, to take the world’s first 8K virtual reality headset into
production.
With still 44 days remaining on
its campaign, Pimax has already raised over US$ 575,000 thanks to nearly 1000
backers, blasting past this required US$ 200,000 pledge goal in just the first few
hours after launch.
Pimax is now available to back
with pledges starting from just US$ 349 for the 5K basic headset or US$ 499 for the
8K version. The 8K VR user experience provides peripheral vision while solving the problem of screen door
effect and motion sickness, say the hardware’s developers.
Jump over to the official
Kickstarter campaign page for a full list of pledges and
specifications. Shipping of the 8K virtual reality headsets is expected to take
place during January 2018.
