Pimax Crystal Light (local dimming) paired with Lighthouse

The Pimax Crystal Light is a lighter variant of the popular Pimax Crystal headset. While the original Pimax Crystal was a combined PC VR and standalone VR headset, the Pimax Crystal Light is specifically focused on PC VR. This means that the battery at the back of the headset has been removed, making the headset lighter and more compact. Additionally, the Pimax Crystal Light only includes a DisplayPort-kabel that you need to plug into the computer. The combination of a high resolution (2880 x 2880 pixels per eye) and a wide field of view (approximately 125 degrees) makes the Pimax Crystal Light an excellent choice for use with VR-simulatie games such as Microsoft Flight Simulator and Assetto Corsa.

The Pimax Crystal Light comes with 2 Pimax-controllers included. The headset's tracking works with inside-out tracking cameras. It is possible to use the Crystal-headset with external Lighthouse-tracking sensors; for this, you need to have the Pimax Tracking Faceplate (available separately).

What are the differences between the Pimax Crystal and Pimax Crystal Light?

The Pimax Crystal Light does not include a Snapdragon XR2 processor and battery. The Light variant can only be used in conjunction with a PC, whereas the original Pimax Crystal can also be used in standalone mode. Additionally, the Pimax Crystal Light does not have a built-in eye-tracking module (and therefore no automatic IPD-verstelling). The lenses of the Pimax Crystal Light are also not interchangeable. However, the Pimax Crystal Light does include the necessary on-board hardware to enable a wireless connection with a 60Hz module*.
