Pimax is a Chinese virtual reality hardware company based in Shanghai and founded by Zhibin "Robin" Weng.[1][2] In China the company is known as Xiaopai Technology.[2] It designs and sells high-resolution PC VR headsets and is best known for two things: very wide field of view and high pixel counts. Its original "8K" headset had an estimated field of view of about 200 degrees, compared with roughly 110 degrees for typical headsets at the time, according to Road to VR.[3] Pimax describes itself as "a virtual reality hardware company known for high-resolution, wide-field-of-view PC VR headsets", and says its products are used by enthusiasts, simulation professionals, enterprise customers and researchers.[4]

The company first drew wide attention in 2017 with a Kickstarter campaign for its "8K" headset, which raised 4,236,618 US dollars and was recognized by Guinness World Records as the most crowdfunded VR project.[5] Its history also includes a long record of late deliveries. In 2020 Road to VR wrote that Pimax had been "oftentimes successively delaying main product launches as well as its long-awaited accessories".[3] Some products shipped with announced features switched off: the original Crystal headset reached preorder customers in May 2023 without eye tracking or its standalone mode, which were promised for later updates.[6]

Pimax's 15 October 2026 shipping update for the United States lists the Crystal Light, the Crystal Super (57PPD, Ultrawide and 8K OLED versions), the micro-OLED Dream Air and the cheaper Dream Air SE; all were in stock except the Dream Air SE, which was on backorder.[7] On 6 October 2026 it announced the wireless Pimax Crystal Pro, new Pimax Ringless VR Controllers, the Pimax Spation mini PC and a new visual identity.[8][9]

History

Founding and the Pimax 4K

Sources disagree on the founding year. Pimax's September 2017 press release said the company was founded in mid-2014 by "a team of VR geeks and engineers", with headquarters in Shanghai and offices in San Jose, California.[10] Its current About page also gives 2014.[11] Pimax's January 2025 funding announcement, Road to VR and China Daily instead give 2015.[12][1][13] In an April 2026 question-and-answer post, Weng described the 8K Kickstarter as "really the big start of Pimax".[14]

Pimax unveiled its first headset, the Pimax 4K, at an event in Beijing on 7 April 2016; China Daily gave the company's name as Pimax Technology (Shanghai) Co Ltd.[15] Its 3840x2160 resolution is split between the two eyes, giving 1920x2160 per eye.[16] It shipped without motion controllers, and in September 2016 it sold for 300 US dollars without headphones or 350 US dollars with them.[17] Pimax's 2017 boilerplate said the 4K had been recognized as the best VR product at CES Asia 2016.[10]

The 8K Kickstarter

The 8K was shown at CES 2017.[10] On 19 September 2017 Pimax launched a Kickstarter for it with a goal of 200,000 US dollars and pledges starting at 399 US dollars. The company advertised a 200° field of view and two 3840x2160 displays.[10] By the time the campaign closed on 3 November 2017 it had raised 4,236,618 US dollars, more than the 2,437,429 US dollars that Oculus raised on Kickstarter for the first Oculus Rift. Guinness World Records lists it as the most crowdfunded virtual reality project.[5][18] In December 2017 Pimax closed a Series A round of nearly 100 million yuan (about 15 million US dollars), when the 5K and 8K headsets were still slated to reach early backers from January 2018.[19]

Deliveries slipped. When Pimax opened general sales of the 8K (900 US dollars), 5K Plus (700 US dollars) and "5K" BE (1,000 US dollars) on 30 November 2018, it quoted an 81-day waiting period. It said Kickstarter orders would be fully shipped by mid to late January 2019 and that two production lines were running for them, with a third due in late December.[20]

The "8K" name has caused confusion for years. It refers to a combined, marketed figure, not a true 8K-per-eye panel. The original 8K used two displays of 3840x2160 (4K) each but could only accept a 1440p signal per eye, upscaling to fill the panels. The later Pimax 8K X (Vision 8K X) was the model that delivered native 4K input per eye; Pimax announced it in September 2019 at 1,299 US dollars without base stations or controllers.[21] Tom's Hardware reviewed the Vision 8K X in 2021 and praised its clarity and ultrawide view, but found that an RTX 2080 graphics card was not powerful enough to run it properly and recommended an RTX 3080 or better.[22]

Wide-FOV lineup and accessories

Between 2018 and 2020 Pimax filled out a range of wide-FOV headsets under the 5K, 8K, Vision, and Artisan names. A spec sheet the company released at CES 2020 listed six models: the Vision 8KX (1,299 US dollars), Vision 8K Plus (999 US dollars), 5K Super (price not yet announced), 5K Plus (699 US dollars), OLED-based 5K XR (899 US dollars) and Artisan (449 US dollars for the basic version). All six advertised a 200° diagonal and 170° horizontal field of view except the Artisan (170° diagonal, 140° horizontal), and the prices excluded SteamVR Tracking base stations and controllers.[23] The Artisan was the budget entry in that lineup, with 1700x1440 displays per eye.[23][24] The Pimax 5K Super went on sale in December 2020 for 750 US dollars without tracking hardware, with a 160 Hz standard maximum refresh rate and an experimental 180 Hz mode.[25]

All of these headsets relied on external SteamVR (Lighthouse) tracking, so buyers needed base stations and controllers from other makers until Pimax shipped its own.[23] Optional modules followed. In June 2020 a Pimax spokesperson said its eye-tracking module, developed by 7Invensun, would ship to backers within a month at a 99 US dollar backer price, with the hand-tracking module powered by Ultraleap (170 US dollars from Pimax's website) about a week later.[26] In October 2020 the company raised a 20 million US dollar Series B round with Ivy Capital and CDF-Capital as major participants.[3] Its own SteamVR-tracked Sword controllers went on sale in the US and EU in March 2022 at 300 US dollars.[27]

Reality 12K, Crystal and Portal

On 25 October 2021, at its annual Pimax Frontier conference, Pimax presented the Pimax Reality 12K QLED, a standalone-and-PC hybrid with dual 6K QLED panels, a claimed 200° horizontal field of view in PC mode, eye tracking, and a starting price of 2,400 US dollars, targeted to ship at the end of 2022.[28][29][30] It repeatedly slipped and has not been released. In April 2026 Weng said Pimax was "still developing the 12K", and that it would likely become a PC VR headset rather than the dual-mode design announced in 2021.[14]

The company's main line since 2023 has been the Crystal family, which favors pixel density over the extreme field of view of its earlier headsets. The original Pimax Crystal has 2880x2880 QLED panels per eye with a mini-LED backlight, and a standalone mode powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2. MIXED's November 2023 review found the image "very sharp and clear" but called the standalone mode "simply useless" and criticized the 1,150 g weight.[31] It was announced at 1,900 US dollars and went on sale at 1,600 US dollars; shipping to preorder customers began on 24 May 2023.[6] In September 2023 Pimax added the Crystal-Sim, a limited edition of the Crystal for racing and flight simulation that dropped the controllers and started at 1,449 US dollars.[32]

Pimax held an online Frontier 2022 event in November 2022, promising a new multifunction device.[33] That month it introduced the Pimax Portal, an Android handheld with detachable controllers that could be used on its own or slotted into a headset for VR, with crowdfunding prices expected to start at 299 US dollars and shipping to backers expected in January 2023.[34] The Portal Kickstarter raised 354,080 US dollars against a 200,000 US dollar goal. Pimax began shipping the handheld in 2023, but redesigned the Portal View headset shell and delayed it.[35] In August 2023 it added the Portal Retro, a 299 US dollar version with a 2K LCD and fixed controls that does not support VR.[36]

In March 2023 Pimax raised a 30 million US dollar Series C1 round led by Tuanmu Capital to support the Crystal and Portal rollout. Road to VR reported that the company then had more than 300 employees and offices in San Jose, Stockholm, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Qingdao and Chengdu.[1]

Crystal Light, Crystal Super and Dream Air

At Pimax Frontier 2024 on 15 April 2024, Pimax announced two follow-ups: the cheaper, PC-only Pimax Crystal Light (same 2880x2880 panels, from 699 US dollars, deliveries slated to begin in May 2024) and the higher-end Pimax Crystal Super (3840x3840 per eye, from 1,799 US dollars), whose optical engine can be swapped between QLED and micro-OLED panels. It also put the 60G Airlink wireless module for the original Crystal on sale for 299 US dollars.[37][38]

In November 2024 Pimax introduced Pimax Prime, a mandatory financing and membership program for the Crystal Super and Crystal Light. Buyers paid a lower upfront price (999 US dollars for the Crystal Super, 599 US dollars for the Crystal Light) and, after a trial period, either a one-time fee or monthly payments to keep the Pimax Play software working; Road to VR noted that this made the headsets "basically non-refundable" after the trial.[39]

MIXED reported on 1 April 2025 that production of the Crystal Super had begun and that deliveries would start on 7 April. Pimax marketed its QLED version as reaching a "retina-level" 57 pixels per degree, with a 127° horizontal field of view in normal mode, and lowered the entry price to 1,695 US dollars.[40] The first batch of micro-OLED Crystal Super headsets and optical engines shipped on 30 December 2025.[41]

Alongside it Pimax developed the Pimax Dream Air, a compact headset with 3840x3552 micro-OLED panels per eye, announced on 23 December 2024 at 1,900 US dollars with a May 2025 shipping target.[42] In May 2025 Pimax delayed it and revealed a cheaper variant, the Pimax Dream Air SE (2560x2560 micro-OLED per eye).[43] The Lighthouse version of the Dream Air began shipping on 20 February 2026; Pimax's European marketing director Martin Lammi acknowledged that the company was "late with shipping compared to our original estimate".[44] The Dream Air SE followed in May 2026, when Pimax sent the first batch in bulk to regional warehouses and expected customers to receive units two to four weeks later. Road to VR reported that both Dream Air models use Sony micro-OLED panels and gave the SE a 105° horizontal field of view, against 110° for the Dream Air.[45] By 15 October 2026 Pimax listed the Dream Air (Lighthouse and SLAM versions) in stock in the US with three to five business days' fulfillment, while the Dream Air SE was on backorder of about two to three weeks.[7]

In January 2025 Pimax closed a further round of about 14 million US dollars, which it called a "C1+" round, with long-time shareholder Ivy Capital taking part. Pimax said the money would bolster working capital, production capacity, inventory, quality assurance, customer service and R&D, and that the company had seen "near 100% annual growth" over several years.[12] MIXED reported that the round was led by Zhuji Jingkai Capital Investment, that the company planned a larger US research team and a new development hub in Europe, and that up to 80 percent of Pimax users came from outside China.[2]

Frontier 2026 and new identity

On 6 October 2026 Pimax held its Frontier 2026 event and announced the Crystal Pro, the third-generation Pimax 60G AirLink kit, the ringless controllers and the Spation mini PC. The press release was datelined San Jose.[4][8] The Crystal Pro costs 1,399 US dollars, or 1,899 US dollars with the AirLink kit; Pimax's FAQ says hands-on demos start in the fourth quarter of 2026 and shipping is set to start in spring 2027.[8] Pimax gave no price or shipping date for the ringless controllers or the Spation, and said Pimax Play is coming to Linux as a dedicated client.[4]

At the same event the company replaced its green and black branding with a logo based on the letter π and a signature color it calls Stratosphere Blue. Its blog said the green was tied to gaming culture, and that "VR is no longer mainly a gaming product, and neither is Pimax".[9]

Software

Pimax's PC headsets depend on its desktop software. In 2021 Tom's Hardware wrote that Pimax headsets "have always required a companion app called PiTool", which handled firmware updates, SteamVR driver injection, rendering options, field of view, refresh rate, color correction and lens position adjustment.[22] On 28 September 2022 Pimax announced Pimax Client, which it said "replaces our Pitool software" and supports all past and future Pimax headsets.[47] The current client is Pimax Play; Pimax's download page lists version 2.0.4, dated 20 September 2026, for Windows 10 and 11.[48] As of October 2026, customers can buy an extended warranty directly in Pimax Play.[49]

Manufacturing and operations

Pimax says it controls the concept, development and production of every headset it ships, and lists glass aspheric lenses, QLED displays with mini-LED, and its own SLAM inside-out tracking among its technologies.[11] In January 2024 China Daily reported that Pimax's subsidiary in Longyou county, Quzhou, Zhejiang province, was founded in June 2023, had three complete production lines, and that 90 percent of the company's products were exported.[13] Pimax's own January 2025 announcement said it holds hundreds of patents.[12]

Pimax's About page highlights sim racing and flight simulation as use cases.[11] In mid-October 2026 the company said it was attending the Sim Racing Expo at Messe Frankfurt (16 to 18 October 2026), and that it had sponsored the "Full-Shift Robot Co-Workers" workshop at the IROS 2026 robotics conference in Pittsburgh, which it linked to its work on head-mounted sensing for robot training data.[49]

Marketing claims and resolution naming

Pimax product names use combined or marketed resolution figures that do not map to a true per-eye panel resolution. The "8K" headsets did not have 8K-per-eye displays; the name reflects the rough combined pixel count of two 4K panels, and the original 8K accepted only a 1440p signal per eye.[21] Tom's Hardware noted that the two panels give a combined 7680x2160, while true 8K would be 7680x4320.[22] The "12K" in the Reality 12K QLED similarly refers to dual 6K panels;[28] Road to VR wrote that the total horizontal resolution "is near 12K, but this is split across each eye".[30] The "5K" name likewise describes combined horizontal resolution across both eyes.[25] Advertised field-of-view numbers (often cited up to 200°) are best read as maximums under specific lens and mode settings; the Crystal Super, for example, is quoted at 127° horizontal in normal mode and 138° in its labs mode.[40] Where a figure here is a marketing or combined number, the table says so.
