Pimax Crystal Super 57PPD Virtual Reality Headset with Controllers - Ideal for Sim Racing and Flight Simulation

Product Description

Delivers the highest visual clarity, ideal for users who demand extreme detail and precision.

Advantages

1. World’s First Retina-Level VR Headset: 57 PPD Ultra Clarity
   Crystal Super 57PPD sets a new benchmark in visual fidelity,
   delivering an unprecedented 57 pixels per degree (PPD), the first VR
   headset to truly enter retinal resolution territory. With a total
   resolution of 3840 x 3840 per eye (29.5 million pixels), it surpasses
   professional-grade headsets like Varjo Aero and Somnium VR1,
   making it the top choice for VR enthusiasts, developers, and
   professionals seeking unmatched visual immersion.
   
2. Larger Sweet Spot for Consistent Clarity
   Thanks to its next-generation optical design, Crystal Super offers a
   significantly expanded sweet spot. Users enjoy edge-to-edge
   sharpness and reduced image distortion, even during rapid head
   movements. Ideal for fast-paced simulations and high-focus
   workflows.
   
3. Eye-Tracked Dynamic Foveated Rendering (DFR)
   Crystal Super incorporates advanced eye-tracking to enable
   Dynamic Foveated Rendering. The system intelligently renders high
   resolution detail exactly where you’re looking while reducing GPU
   load in peripheral areas. In demanding use cases like combat flight
   or racing, this ensures maximum clarity where it matters most,
   cockpit instruments, enemies, or track details, without sacrificing
   performance or immersion.
   
4. Refined Structural Design with Premium Materials
   Engineered with user comfort and flexibility in mind, Crystal Super
   features a thoughtfully refined chassis:
   Slimmer faceplate for a more compact profile
   Magnetic face gasket system for quick adjustments and swaps
   Redesigned head straps for improved weight distribution
   Modular Optical Engine for future upgradeability
   Together, these innovations enhance long-term comfort and
   usability without compromising visual performance.
   
5. Optimized for Ultra-High-End GPUs
   Crystal Super is built for users who demand the best and have the
   hardware to match. To unlock its full potential, we recommend
   pairing it with RTX 4090 or 5090 class GPUs. This ensures stable
   frame rates, full resolution rendering, and flawless HDR visuals,
   especially in graphically intensive applications.
