Following the company’s appearance at CES 2018, Pimax has announced that its backers won’t see their finished headsets until the second quarter of 2018, delaying the initially expected delivery date by several months.
Pimax ran a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign for the headset back in 2017, concluding with some $4.2 million in funding. The company quickly thereafter announced a $15 million Series A investment for continued development of the headset, which aims to deliver an ultra-wide field of view and high resolution. We saw it at IFA. (Showstoppers Busy with Headsets & Smartwatches)
While the first wave of headsets were estimated to begin delivery to backers in January 2018, Pimax has pushed the headset’s estimated delivery into the second quarter of 2018.
The update also offers a timeline of the company’s various prototypes over the last year and says that, starting in mid-March, they expect to begin showing the close-to-mass production unit, and working with a small, closed group from the community to test the headset and gather feedback ahead of the final production unit.
