Buying call

Skip the VR1 Titan unless you need hand and eye tracking in an open, modular PC VR headset, because it costs more than twice as much as the Pimax Crystal Super Ultrawide and has no US list price. It adds hand tracking to the Visionary's 2880 x 2880 QLED mini-LED panels per eye with 576 local dimming zones, 130-degree horizontal and 105-degree vertical field of view, 120Hz open-source eye tracking and 72 or 90Hz refresh with experimental 120 and 144Hz upgrades (Somnium specs). You still supply SteamVR base stations and controllers, and color passthrough is reserved for the pricier Ultimate edition. Buy it only if open hardware and hand tracking for development or research justify the premium; for gaming, the Crystal Super is sharper for far less.

Best for

Developers and researchers who want hand and eye tracking on open, modifiable PC VR hardware.

Not for

Gamers and sim fans; a Crystal Super delivers more resolution for less than half the price.
