About Pimax
Go Boldly into the Uncharted
Pimax was founded on a single desire — to push technology to the edge of what's possible, and to help humanity exceed its own limits through immersion.
Why We Exist
There are countless reasons a thing can't be done. But push hard enough, look closely enough at the problem, and a way opens up.Every Pimax headset begins there — at the edge of the possible.
Everything In-House
From the biggest idea to the smallest circuit board.
Pimax owns the concept, the development, and the production of every VR headset we ship. We manage and control all of it — and we've done so since the launch of the 4K in 2015.
01
Concept
Optics, ergonomics and ambition, defined in-house.
02
Development
SLAM algorithms, glass lenses, bridge chips — engineered by us.
03
Production
Manufactured under our own control, down to the board.
Our Journey
A decade at the edge.
Ten years of firsts — from the world's first 4K headset to the lightest 8K VR ever built.

2016
Kickstarter breakthrough.
The Pimax 4K becomes one of the most-funded VR Kickstarter campaigns, proving real demand for high-resolution headsets.

Looking ahead.
Next-generation optics, micro-OLED panels and expanded enterprise solutions are all on the horizon.
What's Next
What Sets Us Apart
We do things the big multinationals wouldn't even consider.
4K
First to 4K.
The first commercially available VR headset with 4K resolution — named best VR product in Asia.
200°
First to 200° FOV.
The widest field of view ever shipped to consumers — peripheral vision other headsets don't have.
glass
First glass lenses.
Glass aspheric optics for edge-to-edge clarity, where the rest of the industry settled for plastic.
QLED
QLED with mini-LED.
Local-dimming brilliance and near-absolute blacks, tuned for the deepest scenes in VR.
SLAM
Proprietary SLAM.
Our own inside-out tracking algorithm — precise 6DoF without a room full of base stations.
17M
Pushing wireless VR.
Seventeen million pixels, untethered. The kind of challenge we take on precisely because no one else will.
What We Believe
A few things we refuse to compromise.
These aren't features or policies. They're the convictions every Pimax headset is built on.
Co-creation
We build with our community, not just for it. Your feedback is part of the engineering.
No compromise
We chase the spec the rest of the industry calls impossible — and then we ship it.
Immersion first
Every decision serves one thing: the feeling of truly being somewhere else.
For the long run
We stand behind what we make — and we keep making it better, long after it ships.
Join Us
Build the edge with us.
We're a team that takes on the problems others avoid. If you want to push optics, hardware and software past what's been done before — we should talk.
