[@SomniumSpaceVR]

Thank you all for coming to our booth! It was incredible fun and honor to have you with us!

[@sean.d7171]

Is it 120hz or 144hz max?

[@SomniumSpaceVR]

@@sean.d7171 120 hz with possible experimental 144 hz.

[@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe]

All these reactions remind me of myself when I received my Pimax Crystal Light headset. I get blown away every time.

[@melvinf78]

What are you talking about? Pimax Crystal Light is only one third of the price!

[@WOojerVest3andQuest3onMe]

@melvinf78 Are you talking to me...? 🤷🏻‍♂️ I know how much the Pimax Crystal Light cost. I own one it is absolutely amazing. 😉👌😁👍🙋🏻‍♂️🫶.

[@lee986]

WANT WANT WANT....I just need it to be about 50% cheaper 😢😢 Maybe they'll have a mega sale 😊 (I wish)

[@C6v1999]

Reassuring. So hurry up and finish building and deliver mine!

[@marshw13FlightSim]

Thanks for allowing me to try this product and for featuring reactions from so many fellow simmers.

[@mikewright2858]

I'm sold - I got onto the list at the end of October, when can I buy one! :)

[@Bloopaz]

why no speakers :( other than that it seems like a better version of the index

[@imblakehotz]

I feel you on this, butafter borrowing my buddies Varjo Aero and using headphones for the past few weeks I have to say that it is WAY more immersive. Almost insanely different, so I think that for the future of VR and users wanting to increase immersion, I think having just a headphone jack is a good call. Not to mention it allowed them to spend money on the other awesome features

[@SargonDragon]

@@imblakehotz Wearing headphones over a VR headset is really rough from a usability perspective. Plus getting headphones to fit over a VR headset in the first place is an issue. There are so many problems with this. Some users prefer to use their own cans anyway, it's true. But it is still problematic by nature.

[@Emir_de_Passy]

First thing many of us do is remove built in audio if we can. Many of us use over the ear solutions and built in audio adds weight and complexity. The modular approach of vr1 means that you can easily add audio and/straps. Everybody wins.

[@dabneyoffermein595]

At 3:50 he begins to talk about the sweet-spot problem. when will VR Headset manufacturers have that figured out? is it conquered in the Pimax Crystal? I assume not in the Q3

[@flightcodex]

For getting to check this out hands down amazing! I so want to pull the trigger on getting a unit for RND but need to know that Linux support is there before. not for fan boy but that is nice, a lot of VR appliance applications would open up.

[@imblakehotz]

Just secured our headsets!!! I cannot wait to get mine!!!

[@preciadoalex123]

I wanna see the reviews when the manufacturer isn't behind their necks

[@lurchilurch5507]

Love to see it!

[@nick-dm3if]

YOUR PRICES ARE FUCKING INSANE.

[@artursychov]

THE QUALITY IS INSANE TOO! 😀

[@sergej_mutlich3244]

seems very front heavy. maybe too heavy for a racing motion rig😢

[@artursychov]

Listen to what people say in this video :)

[@sergej_mutlich3244]

​@@artursychovI did and they say superb clarity and lighter then the cristal. however pimax cristal is not really a reference for a light headset. but beside this it really seems to be a long awaited next generation pcvr headset (compared to G2 or vive pro 2)

[@agniuszoro]

That thing is massive

[@damiengvideos4337]

It's Bigscreen Beyond my friend not Beyond Bigscreen ... he gets a pass though for being an older generation and still into cool tech! I am sure this guy is older than my dad (62) and my dad doesn't even own a computer and can't do squat with tech. He would be lost in VR LOL.

[@johnnyalbrecht41]

what would be your choice if money didn't matter would you choose the x4 steam edition or the omnia1?? Thanks in advance, I now have a well-functioning Varjo x4 Steam Edition and I'm happy with it, but for the moment I have doubts now haha

[@artursychov]

My choice is for sure Somnium VR1 😂

[@johnnyalbrecht41]

@@artursychov why?

[@Lurchie007]

Pimax Crystal Super 😅

[@SomniumSpaceVR]

@@johnnyalbrecht41 watch the video and check technical specs of VR1.

[@MPSB12]

They talking a good game but it looks like they have weights on their heads.

[@salazarbernardo]

What seems crazy to me is having a headset even more expensive than Vision pro but WITHOUT an M1 pc inside... It would need at least 1000 dollar price drop to start being somewhat reasonable.

[@SomniumSpaceVR]

The highest build and image quality on the market fully built in Europe comes at price.

[@salazarbernardo]

@@SomniumSpaceVR I fully understand the build and image quality arr top notch, not arguing that... but claiming it's even better than apple's? I mean... (And yes I know those serves different purposes but yet, hardwarewise, it's not better in any ways). 2.5k for the eye tracking and pass-through and you have my money.

[@bj00rn]

Wait, I was hoping to get my hands on the version with eye- and hand tracking, but now when checking the price I realize that it's 1000 Euro extra over the base price.. ...So my idea is basically one-shot down in spectacular flames. Man..

[@blockmuse]

Congrats all! So glad to see this! This as a project is truly the definition of a labour of love!

[@SargonDragon]

Why are there _two_ tether cables? Since when did the Somnium VR1 require dual cables? I don't remember seeing that before.

[@artursychov]

Only Mixed Reality version needs a second cable.

[@АйдарВисимо]

Видна задержка. Сзади на экране.

[@artursychov]

Задержка на ТВ экране всегда будет, но она ни имеет никакого отношения к картинке в ВР зхедсете. Там всё без задержки.

[@busimatch]

How much better than HP reverb2 ?

[@artursychov]

A lot better. Next gen basically

[@driflysh4597]

I liked my HP Reverb 2 but was blown away by the upgrade to Pimax Crystal. Somnium VR1 is (seemingly) better than the Crystal, so the answer is "very very much". 😂

[@Emir_de_Passy]

This two generations ahead of G2 so it's going to be a lot. And that's an understatement because aero and crystal were already a lot over G2 and vr1 is even better than those two.
