What is VR 3.0?
Along with the Pimax Crystal headset, Pimax is also focussing on VR 3.0. The company says this is a set of “next-generation” technical standards which are designed to lead to an immersion that helps you forget you’re in the virtual world.
These standards include three parts:
Visual Immersion relies on visuals that are so good that you cannot distinguish between the real world and the virtual one.
Cognitive Immersion is where you become more immersed in VR thanks to things like eye-tracking and facial expression tracking that’s then translated into VR along with optional lip and body tracking. This leads to a more “real-world” experience of natural interactions that complement the clear clarity of the game.
Physical Immersion comes with the freedom of not being tethered to a PC. Though you can use the Pimax Crystal connected to a PC for the best experience, it also allows you to use it in standalone VR mode. Then you can enjoy wireless freedom and the immersion that comes with it to enjoy VR games, movies and more, anywhere in your home.
Pimax will talk more about VR 3.0 during the Pimax Crystal launch event but also during the Pimax Frontier event happening on 01 August 2025.
