Unfortunately, my Pimax Dream Air review will take a little longer. My review unit is currently not working properly, and I’m working with Pimax to find a solution. As soon as the Dream Air is running reliably again, I’ll continue testing and complete the review.

Pimax Crystal Pro: Will you hold off on buying a Steam Frame?

Pimax announced a new VR headset today — with some pretty interesting specs:

🔹 2,880 × 2,880 pixels per eye
🔹 Aspheric glass lenses and QLED displays
🔹 New VR controllers that clip together to form a gamepad

What I find particularly interesting is the optional 60GHz AirLink system. Pimax promises high bandwidth and very low added latency. Combined with “Native Foveated Streaming,” the goal is to bring wireless PCVR as close as possible to a wired experience. Of course, we’ll need hands-on testing to see how well it actually works.

Pimax also unveiled “Spation,” a compact PC designed for PCVR. This reminds me a little of Valve’s Steam Frame and Steam Machine combination. It looks like Pimax wants to offer a complete setup as well. Whether it can deliver an even better experience remains to be seen.

We don’t have a confirmed release date for the Crystal Pro yet.

What do you think? Does this announcement make you reconsider buying a Steam Frame and wait for the Crystal Pro instead? Or are you sticking with Valve?

Crazy Bats at Phantasialand – A Fascinating VR Experience

Last weekend, I rode Crazy Bats at Phantasialand in Brühl, near Cologne, for the first time.

I was really curious to see how well VR could work on a real roller coaster. The ride originally opened as a traditional indoor coaster, but over time it became less popular. Adding VR completely transformed the experience.

Of course, the VR technology is showing its age. If you’re used to modern headsets, the display quality and graphics feel quite dated. Even so, the illusion works surprisingly well for most of the ride.

One thing I did notice, though, was that the virtual experience didn’t always match the movement of the coaster perfectly. Especially during the faster sections, it felt like the real coaster was moving ahead of what I was seeing in the headset. For me, that caused a bit of motion sickness, and by the end I was actually glad to get off the ride. That said, plenty of other people seem to have no issues with it at all.

Overall, I still think Crazy Bats is a really interesting example of how VR can breathe new life into an older attraction.

Have you ridden Crazy Bats? What did you think?

I've been testing the new AMVR LC6L PCVR Link Cable over the last few days, and my first impression is very positive.
The cable feels well made, the braided sleeve is both robust and flexible, and I especially like the included Velcro straps. They make it easy to secure the cable neatly to a head strap—one of those small details that shows real attention to practical VR use.
I also had no issues using it for a stable wired PCVR connection with Meta Quest and Pico headsets.

AMVR is currently offering 19% off the LC6L from July 24 to July 31.
Discount code: KT7THCO8
Amazon:

Just to be transparent: This is not an affiliate link, so I don't earn anything if you decide to buy it. I simply wanted to share the discount with the community.

If you're interested in my more detailed thoughts on AMVR's Link Cable lineup, I also made a review of the previous charge-and-play version (German only):

The Pimax Dream Air SE SLAM has arrived!

Pimax has provided me with the headset for testing.

This time, I’d like to approach the review process a little differently. Instead of only publishing a finished review at the end, I’ll be documenting my findings throughout the testing process on Reddit.

There, you can follow the review process, ask questions, and suggest which aspects you’d like me to investigate more closely. Your feedback will help shape the final review.

If you’d like to follow the review from the very beginning and be part of the process, feel free to join the discussion!

Breaking News: The Steam Machine is finally available. Grab one while you can — I’m sure they’ll sell out fast.

Now the real question is: When is the Steam Frame coming? 😄

I’m currently working in the background on my own small XR/VR knowledge platform.

The website is still far from finished and intentionally kept quite minimalistic for now.

The idea behind it:Many of the topics I talk about in my videos should also be available there as articles, guides, and reference content. Basically as a way to revisit and look things up later.

At the same time, I also hope that people who haven’t discovered my YouTube channel yet might eventually find the content through Google or other platforms.

Things have been a bit quiet here over the last few weeks. I was away on vacation during the holidays and didn’t have much time, but I’m already working on new content:

* First, I’ll be putting something on my face — namely the Spectacles from Snap. Video coming soon.
* And after that, I’ll be following an invitation to FIBO in Cologne. What could be waiting for me there? Who can guess it?

Quick guessing game 👀

What do you think I’m working on right now?

Small hint:
👉 not a review
👉 not a setup guide

Curious what you read into this 😅
