Why you call Pimax 8K "8K" ?
The traditional definition of "8K" cannot be applied in VR world.
In 2D world, the image you can see is limited in a little 16:9 / 32:9 square in your PC/TV.
In VR, the FOV is expanded, especially horizontally, thus horizontal resolution matters most in VR.
Pimax 8K boosted FOV to 200 degrees horizontally to mimic human eye vision, and we increase the horizontal resolution to 8K, which is very important to maintain a crisp visual with big FOV. That's why we name the product "8K".
