Summary
$1,400 Crystal Pro is Pimax’s new standalone VR headset, adding eye-tracking foveated streaming and optional uncompressed video over a 60GHz wireless link.
The launch broadens Pimax’s push beyond headsets: it also showed snap-together gamepad wands, a tethered external battery design, and a powerful mini-PC resembling a Steam Machine.
Earlier Frontier event details said the headset uses 2880x2880-per-eye QLED panels, while the companion Spation mini-PC packs an AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RX 9070 XT.
The announcement positions Pimax to challenge Valve’s expanding Steam hardware ecosystem, after pre-event speculation centered on a wireless VR solution.
