Pimax Unveils New Micro-OLED VR Headsets
Pimax, a pioneer in virtual reality technology, has recently announced exciting developments regarding its Micro-OLED product line. The company showcased three innovative headsets: the
Dream Air SE,
Dream Air, and
Crystal Super Micro-OLED. Initially introduced earlier this year, these headsets are now on the brink of launch, featuring finalized specifications, enhanced functionalities, and confirmed availability, setting a new standard in the VR landscape.
Advancements in Micro-OLED Technology
While Micro-OLED is recognized for its ultra-high pixel density, deep blacks, and nearly infinite contrast, challenges remain in heat management, optics, and high-resolution scaling. Pimax has addressed these issues with its patented
ConcaveView optics, establishing itself as the first VR brand to deliver scalable Micro-OLED headsets beyond mere prototypes.

Priced at $899, it's positioned to make Micro-OLED VR accessible to gamers and creators alike.
