You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.227.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:53, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

===Kickstarter era===
==== Pimax 4K ====
Released in 2016, the Pimax 4K was Pimax's first foray into the VR scene. It boasts a resolution of 1920×2160 per eye, for a combined total of 3840×2160 (thus the "4K" designation ((En dash)) though not full stereo 4K) running at a [[refresh rate]] of 60Hz.<ref name=pimax4k/>

[[File:Pimax 4K.jpg|thumb|Pimax 4K Headset]]

==== Pimax 8K ====
The Pimax 8K is a [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]]. It features two [[4K resolution|4K]] displays, one for each eye, with an advertised [[field of view]] of 200 degrees. However, the Pimax 8K does not use the most common 8K resolution standard [[8K resolution|8K UHD]] which contains four times as many pixels as 4K UHD. Since the Pimax 8K contains two 4K UHD displays, it only has half the number of pixels as that of 8K UHD. In addition, due to bandwidth limitations in the connection cable, the headset's input is limited to 2560×1440 for each of the displays. This is then upscaled in the device to the displays' actual resolution.<ref name="engadget-8k"/>

[[File:Prototype 8K.jpg|thumb|Pimax 8K prototype from Kickstarter campaign 2017]]
The company has announced that they are partnering with third parties to develop expansion modules for the headset. The expansion modules announced include features like inside-out tracking, [[eye tracking]], wireless transmission, and scent.<ref name="engadget-8k"/>

At CES2019 in January 2019, Pimax disclosed strategic partnerships respectively with [[Leap Motion]] and 7INVENSUN on the development of [[Finger tracking|hand motion tracking]] module and eye tracking module.
Leap Motion was acquired by UltraHaptics in May 2019 and a new company called Ultraleap was established.<ref>((cite news |last1=Olson |first1=Parmy |title=Leap Motion, Once a Virtual-Reality High Flier, Sells Itself to U.K. Rival |url=https://www.wsj.com/articles/leap-motion-once-a-virtual-reality-high-flier-sells-itself-to-u-k-rival-11559210520 |work=Wall Street Journal |date=30 May 2019))</ref> On the 26th of February, Pimax signed an agreement to offer Ultraleap hand tracking for its whole VR headset range with specifications including a [[Stereoscopy|stereoscopic]] IR camera that creates an interaction zone of up to ((Convert|100|cm|in|abbr=off|sp=us)) range, extending from the device in a 160×160° field of view (approximately 74 cubic feet or 2.1 cubic meters of interactive space).<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.pimax.com/blogs/milestone/pimax-integrates-ultraleap-hand-tracking-in-next-gen-vr-headsets)|title = Pimax &#124; VR Headsets, HMDS & Equipment| date=7 June 2022 ))</ref>

The headset uses the [[Steam (service)#SteamVR|SteamVR]] [[positional tracking]] system (previously called "Lighthouse") initially developed for the [[HTC Vive]] by [[Valve Corporation|Valve]]. This means that existing Vive base stations and controllers are compatible with the Pimax headset, removing the need for existing Vive users to set up an additional tracking system or buy new controllers.((Citation needed|date=January 2018))

The headset is compatible with SteamVR and Oculus software, making it compatible with a wide range of already existing VR content.((Citation needed|date=January 2018)) It is not a native SteamVR headset, and it requires "PiTool" software to be installed along with it. The project remains in the top 5 list of technology projects to this day and received the Guinness World Record for the most successful Speden-funded VR project.<ref>((Cite web |title=Clarity - Our Work - Breaking world records with Pimax VR |url=https://clarity.global/work/breaking-world-records-with-pimax-vr/ |access-date=2022-11-04 |website=Clarity |language=en-US))</ref><ref>((Cite web |title=Most crowdfunded virtual reality (VR) project |url=https://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/world-records/507495-most-crowdfunded-virtual-reality-vr-project |access-date=2022-11-04 |website=Guinness World Records |date=3 November 2017 |language=en-gb))</ref>

The headset was initially planned to start shipping in January 2018, but was repeatedly delayed due to design tweaks and manufacturing refinements. As of July 2019 all backers with verified addresses had received their Pimax 8K and 5K+ headsets.((Citation needed|date=January 2020))

===Commercial products===
==== Pimax 5K PLUS ====
The Pimax 5K PLUS<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.pimax.com/products/5k-plus-headset-only|title=Pimax Vision 5K PLUS - Pimax|date=7 June 2022 ))</ref> is based on similar hardware to the Pimax 8K, but features a lower resolution, at 2560×1440 displays per eye instead of 4K.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.pimax.com/products/5k-plus-headset-only|title=Pimax 5K PLUS VR Headset (144Hz)|date=7 June 2022 ))</ref>  Since this resolution is accepted as input, the headset eliminates the need for upscaling. Early previews of the devices noted that the 5K PLUS featured a sharper image, while the 8K had a significantly reduced [[screen-door effect]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/Pimax/comments/9h0ac5/mrtv_pimax_8k_vs_pimax_5k_plus_new_sde_quality/|title=r/Pimax - MRTV: Pimax 8K vs Pimax 5k Plus - NEW SDE & Quality Comparison At Maximum Quality Settings & Supersampling On|website=reddit|date=19 September 2018|language=en|access-date=2019-02-02))</ref> Launched alongside the 8K, the 5K PLUS units began shipping in large numbers sooner; as of February 2019, a majority of backers had received their headsets,<ref name=":0"/> while leaving hundreds of Kickstarter backers waiting for their 8K unit.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.pimax.com/pages/5k-plus-bundle|title=Pimax &#124; VR Headsets, HMDS & Equipment|date=7 June 2022 ))</ref>

==== Pimax 5K XR ====
5K XR is a virtual reality headset that is compatible with most VR software titles for Windows-based PC's. The headset has a resolution of 2560×1440 per eye or a total resolution of 5120x1440. The differentiating factor between the Pimax XR headset and the Pimax 5K PLUS is the XR utilizes [[OLED|OLED screens]] rather than [[Liquid-crystal display|LCD screens]]. The term "XR" stands for eXtended Range for the added dynamic color range and the near absolute blacks that are possible for OLED type screens.((Citation needed|date=June 2023))

==== Pimax Vision 8K X ====
The Pimax Vision 8K X<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.pimax.com/products/vision-8k-x|title=Pimax Vision 8K X - Pimax|date=7 June 2022 ))</ref> is a variant of the Pimax 8K that solves the cable bandwidth limitation by using the highest data transmission mode with HBC with Displayport 1.4a, thus allowing native 4K resolution per eye, without the visual compromise from upscaling a 5K signal.
