Friend compares VR - Pimax Crystal, Reverb G2, Valve Index and PSVR2 for Sim Racing

I invited my friend @AeroXuk over to try out a selection of VR headsets and this is what he thought.

The reason your friend had less issue without glasses on the Crstyal was because the focal range of the lenses used put the displays at 1m away vs. 2m away for all other VR headsets. I suspect Pimax did this so that you can look at virtual objects up close without it blurring as much due to accommodation-convergence reflex phenomena which is the coupling of the eyes convergence level (i.e. degree of cross-eyed) and focus range setting of your eyes lens. But because the lens in a VR headset put the images shown on the displays at a fixed distance away, there is a mismatch of focal ranges when the stereoscopic image being shown is of something that is much closer (causing your eyes to automatically change focus to that near sighted distance instead of the typical fixed 2m focal distance on VR headsets).

I really want a PSVR2 I like how it's just one wire. Plug and play PC quality VR.

I love my Pimax Crystal. I mainly fly DCS World, but the only thing that would make it complete is if they integrated mixed reality. I would love to be able to see my Winwing F18 Front Panel and MFDS while flying. I know they're capable of doing it because in the standalone mode, you have mixed reality when setting your boundaries for standing and moving games.

great video, Aerox confirmed what I've been saying forever, I saw the compromises in GT7 and there are a good number of them

[chrishart]

Nice vid … answered few questions for me 👍

Love my Reverb G2. Shame HP is done witn it. There is no longer a higher resolution pc only hmd at a decent price point being manufactured.

Your friend said he used a rift S and a quest 2, but said he has never seen screen door effect. That is odd. The Rift S actually had an amazing picture (better in my opinion than the index) but it definitely had screen door.

Price issue might be solved now with the Crystal Light.

[rinkumultani]

how about doing new video cos psvr 2 is on pc now
and see if the missing tree on the tracks fixes anything or impact the racing

[chrissaunders]

Hi. Great video. How does the screen door effect differ between the psvr2 and the reverb 2?

[timpig]

interesting! shame not to see the Quest Pro in the mix, those lenses really make it a very strong PCVR headset, despite the lack of display port.

Hi guys, thanks for your video. I have a question, I play sim games on PC and I have a PS5 too, if I want a VR experience and some times play some PC VR games do you think is better chose a Pimax Crystal light or I can wait the compatibility of PSVR 2 on PC to have some experience also on PS 5? Thanks

I have a Crystal running on a 3080ti and I get amazing frames in flight simulators.

Dear Mam VR

Psvr2 nms looks better than pc in vr after latest update, so I've heard I'm trying to get onto pcvr for msfs. I need a good company to build me a capable system. Any tips would be welcome 🙏
