Pimax has unveiled the Crystal Pro wireless VR headset, new ring-free controllers, and a mini gaming PC called Spation. The Crystal Pro comes with a Wi-Fi 6E adapter for connecting to nearby gaming PCs, and an optional 60G AirLink wireless transmission kit is available.
Pimax states that the 60G AirLink uses a 60 GHz connection solution with a maximum transmission bandwidth of 6 Gbps. The kit enables foveated streaming through eye tracking: the area where the gaze is focused is transmitted at native resolution, while peripheral areas have reduced detail to allocate bandwidth.
The Crystal Pro features two QLED screens, with a resolution of 2880×2880 per eye and a maximum refresh rate of 120 Hz. Each eye has 576 Mini-LED zones with a brightness of 200 nits. The base headset is priced at $1,399, the version bundled with the 60G AirLink costs $1,899, and the kit is sold separately for $599.
Regarding tracking, Pimax introduced its SLAM 2.0 solution, which combines cameras, motion sensors, and infrared lighting. The new controllers eliminate the outer tracking rings and feature dual triggers, joysticks, and grip sensing. They can also be combined via a central module into a traditional controller form factor. The Crystal Pro also offers expansion options such as replaceable faceplates.
Spation, also announced at the event, is positioned as a gaming PC. No release dates were provided for these products in the reports; the actual performance of wireless connectivity, tracking, and streaming remains to be verified.
