It sat on the tavern table to work on email and I noted the nearby clutter, table, and support posts looked remarkably lifelike. I wasn’t expecting the slightly higher resolution to contribute so much to the sense of immersion, but for nearby assets, it did. #Ne xs max dirt rally images mods#Ī combination of lighting, mesh, and texture mods helped make this a remarkably lifelike escape. Wondering if the older 5k had a similar but smaller magical bubble of "real" reality, I switched was nowhere to be found. Everything was behind a subtle screen door. Switching the 8kx to Aerofly I found myself in a Beechcraft and was somewhat taken aback by how real the cockpit looked.almost as if I should have paid a couple hundred bucks to rent the plane. Setting the autopilot to take me from Zurich toward the Matterhorn, I jumped in the way-back seat as a passenger and again used the XS Overlay to conjure up my monitor, resizing to the equivalent of a very large laptop, so I could type this review while enjoying the (photo) real Swiss Alps. With the instruments now about six feet away, the screen door effect is once again apparent. The readability I would have had in real life was not there at this distance. While text is considerably better than in the 5k, it is not quite as crisp as I had hoped. Comfortably reading in the 8kx requires 1.5x to 2x the text size I would have used on a regular monitor (either through display scaling for the "cntrl +" trick.

While the pixel density seems comparable to my 26" 1080p monitor (at comparable/normal distance), the lenses are not perfect. The canted design that allows a wide field of view also means the left/right sweet spots don’t overlap. This leads to an optical awkwardness that took me a few weeks to acclimate to in the 5k (there are also edge distortions I noticed at first). While I don’t notice these artifacts anymore and the Pimax now feels as natural as normal vision, this impacts the clarity of fine text depending on where in the FOV it is.
