January 8, 2019
Leap Motion and 7invensun integrated technology, together with the new
open-palm controllers, allow Pimax to give VR enthusiasts a truly
immersive experience
LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, the most crowdfunded VR brand in the world, Pimax,
will showcase its 8K series VR headsets with brand new Pimax
controllers, designed to free your hand for an open-palm immersive
experience. The headsets are embedded with Leap
Motion and 7invensun
technology and together the three brands open up the era for VR 2.0 and
bring a truly immersive experience for VR enthusiasts.
Pimax is exhibiting the new tech with Leap Motion and 7invensun by
demo-ing VR games including Contractor
and Nvidia’s Funhouse
at Tech East, LVCC, South Halls 1-2, Ground Level, Booth #21826,
and co-exhibiting with Cybershoes at LVCC, South Hall, Booth #21631.
Kevin Henderson, Head of US Operations, said: “Science fiction stories
like Minority Report and more recently Ready Player One gave us a
glimpse into the future for immersive experiences and UI control. Today
we’re ready to prove that era is closer than ever before by bringing VR
2.0 to the industry.”
“As a contributor to VR 2.0, we are closely working with our partners to
bring innovation to the industry and finally give VR enthusiasts and
gamers what they have been dreaming of,” he continued.
Intuitive hand-tracking for the ultimate immersive experience
Integrated hand motion tracking brings the industry into the era of 2.0.
Pimax has partnered with Leap
Motion to bring cutting edge hand-tracking technology to virtual
reality. All the Pimax 5K Plus, 8K, and 5K BE headsets now have Leap
Motion’s embedded modules, which feature a 180-degree FoV.
Eye-tracking technology for high viewing performance
Foveated rendering technology reduces GPU load power consumption and
dizziness, which brings high viewing performance to VR. Pimax is now
closely working with 7invensun,
a strategic partner focusing on R&D and innovation in eye-tracking
technologies to achieve this goal, as well as NVIDIA
– the inventor of GPU.
Ergonomically comfortable hand-controllers with new industrial design
Pimax will showcase a prototype of the upcoming open-palm controllers,
which are compatible with the 8K VR headset. The prototypes on the stand
at CES include both the thumbstick and trackpad version, which boast a
much more natural fit than previous models and are compatible with
multiple devices including the Steam VR tracking 1.0 and 2.0.
