Pimax is trying to leapfrog the Steam Frame and Steam Machine.
The company’s got a rep for optics among VR diehards, and it’s just announced the $1400 Crystal Pro. It’s a standalone headset with eye-tracking foveated streaming like the Steam Frame — now with uncompressed video over an optional 60GHz link.
