Did I get scammed by Amazon Pimax Dream Air?

I recently ordered Pimax Dream Air SLAM on Amazon and recieved it today. My dream air has a white housing and I see video of others dream air having black housing. I tried to look it up and saw that Pimax Dream Air SE has a white housing. I checked the box and my headset serial number on pimax play and it matches. In Pimax Play, there's no indication that I got the Dream Air SE. It just said Pimax Dream Air on Pimax Play. Anyone knows how to verify that I did get the Dream Air Slam and not the SE?

Newest Version of RE4R VR Mod Is Out

https://re4vr.com/

I've played up to the combat encounter just after you meet the merchant for the first time.

I was having really bad visual artifacting at first, including very noticeable pixellation across most objects and surfaces. My rig has an i9-13900k, 5090FE, and 32gb of ram. Game is otherwise vanilla except for a Claire replacer for Ashley. Not sure why my tinkering fixed my issues but here's what I did:

Disabled the included upscaler to get rid of motion blurring on moving objects

Went into the ingame graphics options and maxed out resolution

Turned interlaced mode on, increased in game render resoluton to 150%

Turned interlaced mode back off, turned render resolution back to 120%

Now texture quality is excellent without the hideous pixellation artifacts everywhere. There's some jank with holsters (wish handgun was near my thigh so I didnt accidentally grab grenades occasionally), but the mod is otherwise such a massive improvement over the first version. Massive kudos to Talemann, especially for fixing the broken map!

DIY Dual-Use FFB Simpit

Taking the opportunity of the challenge posted by u/Pimax_Daisy to show off my DIY flight sim/racing setup!

What originally started as a simple wooden racing rig slowly evolved into a fully DIY force-feedback rig that can switch between flying and racing with just four screws and a sliding pedal gantry.

Most of the flight sim hardware consists of 3D-printed parts and laser-cut metal sheets that I designed over the last year. The setup is powered by 440 W motors, and the latest addition is a DIY FFB collective for an even more immersive helicopter experience.

For VR, I use the Pimax Dream Air, which I modded with the Studioform kit and a knit band for maximum comfort. Thanks to the high display resolution, I can read the cockpit instruments/dashboard at the first glance.

The whole setup is designed to stay relatively compact and tucked away in the corner of the room, while still allowing me to jump straight into flying or racing whenever I feel like it.

We made a place to talk about all the new VR modding & PCVR, because Discord isn't cutting it. r/PCVR is now reopened!

Hi all, Lunch & VR Dad here. r/PCVR is now reopened!

We wanted a central place where people could talk about everything related to PCVR and VR modding online, and discord is a closed garden a lot of people don't like. It's still the best place to get the latest VR mods and where modders live, but we wanted this information to be public and searchable online for modders & everyone.

Which is why we are reopening r/PCVR to the public, so that the general VR subs like r/virtualreality won't be bombarded too much by mods and AI mods!

I have the Dream Air Slam . I just ordered prescription lenses off of the Pimax website . Has anybody else tried these ? If so how are they ? I read and hear so many people ordering prescription lenses from other companies and not much from Pimax themselves . Hopefully i didn’t make a bad purchase 😬

I don’t really need the lenses as everything looks great but i figured why not since it will add a little extra protection over the raw lenses and possibly less eye strain for future gaming

Video with the central distortion of DA

I tried recording the issue directly from the displays, but you need to make some contraption where the smartphone is perfectly glued and stuck to the DA, and even with that, the effect is quite subtle. More subtle that in the video. The video above is a recreation with After Effects. I had to exaggerate a bit - and I'm writing here that as a disclaimer - the effect is exaggerated, otherwise it might have been hard to notice what I'm talking about.
But the point is when it comes to lenses people complain about side, margin warping, while in my case I dont care about those, since those are hard to notice anyway. But central warping or pupil swimming is more noticeable.
My Beyond2 was very stable, had none of this. I'm not sure if such an issue is normal for DA or my unit has an issue. Both eyes, both lenses have the same warping. Also dial it down to 25% in your mind to better reflect the real warping.

Quick heads-up, try OpenVR for iRacing with sboys

Since using sboys Ive been using OpenVR on iRacing for the first time and it runs much better than OpenXR using sboys in my honest opinion. I would recommend you try, keep in mind the graphic ini file is named differently when using OpenVR

Dream Air SE NEW face gasket from Pimax

I have the OG and the Studioform, and yesterday I received the last one from Pimax, and for me it's the best.
The eye position it's perfect and the pressure well balanced around the face.
The design its good, but asking for perfection I will like it to be much more light and breathable.

Good job Pimax!

Dream Air + SBoy: VR video player pauses when my head doesn't move

I'm trying to watch a movie using Skybox VR video player but the video pauses after about 10 seconds of my head not moving.

It resumes as soon as I move my head.

Is there a way to stop this so I can watch a movie all the way through?

I've checked the sboy settings and stationary dimming is disabled. In steam VR "Pause VR when headset is idle" is off.

New DreamAIR Slam + SBoys, iRacing screen is fuzzy

Hi community. I just recieved my DreamAir and downloaded the software today for the Pimax EVO and the Sboy driver. I followed Nxt Level VR's guide to install and setup the SBoys driver. I tried cranking up the STEAM VR resolution to 150%. I launch iRacing using OpenXR mode and when I get into the racing screen, everything BUT the menus, options, etc is fuzzy. The Menus are crystal clear.

I am running a AMD 9800X3D, 64GB, 5090, DreamAir Slam version.

When I run the native Pimax play way, the game launchs fine and is crystal clear. I am not an expert in SteamVR, so I bet there is a settings somewhere that is causing this...I just do not know where to look.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Coming from a Quest 3, OMG....going to the Dream Air is like running VR in 1080p, then going to 4K (in the pimax play version).

Thank you in advance.

Cheers!

Pimax Screen Recording is Awesome!

I really like what Pimax did with the screen recording. Sooo much better than recording on OBS. The edges are bit blurry, because I'm using FFR on the OXRTK, but other than that this is fantastic IMHO.

Dream Air vs Crystal Light Binocular Overlap

Considering that both the headsets have a similar FOV, can anyone having both compare their binocular overlap?

I'd like to know if switching from my Crystal Light to the Dream Air the dept perception will increase or not.

I read that Crystal Light has 83° (80% of the FOV), while Dream Air 90° (87% of the FOV), but how much does it affect the depth perception?

Thanks

Headset Great!!! Controllers, Not So Great :(

https://preview.redd.it/ko5b20gqb2kh1.png?width=976&format=png&auto=webp&s=8aa7a83ac548e1a55301ec3fd7299f6915b7e1af

I really like my PCL. The controllers on the hand feel like cheap plastic toys I picked up on Temu. Given the money that these headsets cost, I would expect Pimax to deliver higher quality products. Particularly if I'm buying the Dream Air. I'm really hoping they come out with updated controllers that are compatible with all SLAM headsets.

I also have a PSVR2 and the Dual Motion controllers are peak. When it comes to any action or shooter games, I reluctantly dust off the headset. My preference though would be to play with Pimax.

Ideas for modifying the Dream Air strap,which you use?

Cheapest: Cushion + Velcro on the original Dream Air strap.

Best value: Use a Quest strap that fits the Dream Air strap automatically (like the Bobo M3)—but which one?

Most proven: Bobo M3 Pro; there’s a clear explanation of how it attaches directly, though the strap includes a battery, so it might be heavier.

Most expensive/complex: Vision Pro Dual Knit + 3D-printed adapters.

put photos here of you modification please

I built a searchable catalog of 1,000+ VR mods for flat PC games, you can also check your Steam library to see which games you already own can be played in VR

I've been working on this for a while and finally got it launched.

It's called PCVR Centralhttps://pcvrcentral.com/

The main idea is to have one searchable place for VR mods that let you play flatscreen PC games in VR. Right now the site has 1,000+ VR mods covering a pretty huge number of games.

You can search/filter the catalog and see things like the type of VR implementation, motion controls/6DOF support, links to the actual mod, install guides where available, and other useful info.

One of the tools I wanted most was the Steam library checker. You can connect or paste your Steam link and it'll show you which games you already own can be played in VR, either natively or through a mod.

The site's brand new, so I'm sure there are mods missing or bits of information that could be improved. There's a submission system on the site as well, so if you know of something that's missing you can send it in.

I'm planning to keep expanding the database and adding more useful PCVR tools/features over time.

Would love any feedback. If there's missing features you'd like to see, let me know.
