Are HighFOV headsets dead? Is it not as good of an experience?
I wanted to upgrade my vr setup from HTC Vive to Pimax 5k - which I wanted for years. But then I realised that at this point pimax 5k is hella old. But looking at the market I dont think there are any high FOV headsets made anymore.
Its like every headset now is just quest 3(which I would never buy). Steam Frame, PICO 4 Ultra - or even the new pimax headset - the company that literally made the highFOV headsets - Pimax Dream Air(btw I think it costing 2k is wild). Its essentially all the same type of headset now. The only outlier is bigscreen beyond 2e really.
So quesiton to people who were able to experience something like pimax 5k, 8k or any other very high fov headset: was the experience just...not that good? I like my htc but anytime I use it, it feels like Im looking through...well - goggles. I was hoping that highFOV would change that. But maybe for the last few years ive been focusing on the wrong thing.
