Why XTAL is the king of VR headsets for Flight and Racing Simulators

Ғылым және технология

Last weekend I tested the XTAL VR headset with Flight Simulators and Racing Simulators, and compared it to the Pimax VR range and also other VR HMD brands. Is XTAL really the best VR headset for VR simulator enthusiast and fanatics? In this hands-on XTAL video, I will tell you everything you need to know in-depth, about the current XTAL version and it's latest improvements.
Check out XTAL on the official website:
vrgineers.com/xtal/
As of now, the XTAL headset is available for orders in EU and US.
XTAL is the most sophisticated VR headset on the market today, aimed mainly for professional work due to it's specifications and production costs. But the unit has now proved that it also can serve as a very potential high-end VR headset for Virtual Reality simulator training and gameplays on home consumer level. Todays hands-on review of XTAL, I'm going in deep on the functionality, the outstanding image quality and all the advantages a high-end headset can bring you, compared to the existing consumer grade products such as Pimax 5K+, Pimax 5K XR and the 8K.
Is XTAL the king of VR headsets for Flight and Racing Simulators? Let me know your thoughts in the comments down below.

    XTAL told me that all SweViver Patrons get a 200 Euro discount on purchasing their superb VR headset. I became a Patron today. I've relied on your excellent IL2 (my use) comments about the Pimax and I'm glad you showed DCS. Can you comment or email me about how the XTAX might benefit distant aircraft type recognition in IL2? Currently, it seems that flat-screen users can more easily see the small characteristics of distant contacts and identify friend or foe in time to set up or avoid an attack. Even with my Vive Pro, even zoom images are so fuzzy it's hard to see the shape of wing taper or tips, location of radiator/cooler scoops, etc. that identify an aircraft as a Yak or a MiG or a 109 or 190 or an La-5 [or hopefully soon, a P-51!].

I know it's a lot of money but I just can't see anything else out there that will give me exactly what I want out of DCS and IL-2. Keep those reviews coming!

    Great Video. A recommendation, If I may. You need to adjust your view in the cockpit to a normal view. Not so stretched like your in the back seat. It would give a better real life perspective of sitting in the cockpit. Cause as you notice, when you turn your head the image that is far away at your 12 o’clock position stretches and gets real close when it is in your peripheral vision. Other than that. How much is this headset?

    Funny intro!!! Watched it twice. And considering the price of Xtal, it is not even exaggerated. What is also interesting is that the Xtal boys managed to reach such high clarity, low SDE and high FOV without using a very high resolution, eliminating the need for foveated rendering. The Oculus team should really look into this...and else i hope they manage to get the price down to consumer level. Very promising thechnology so far (except the size and weight then)

    A great video, thank you. The resolution is amazing! I don’t use a VR headset for my sim racing, but why is the FOV so distorted? I like an extended FOV as I enjoy seeing the interior of the car, but on my curved screen I don’t have the cigar-shape appearance and spindly arms.

    Hi Martin! Could you do a comparative benchmark between RTX 2080 and GTX 1080 Ti? From what I've seen (very limited info everywhere) the RTX 2080 should have much higher VR performance (based on various steam VR benchmarks like cyan room etc) but in reality it seems to perform considerably worse than the 1080 Ti.

    @SweViver: So if you had to pick a headset today for X-Plane and you didn’t have the budget for XTAL what would you go with? In the screen shots you took between Pimax 5K+ and 5K XR they look very similar, yet your 5K XR video said the 5K+ was better, but after looking at these recent screens it was hard to call. Looking forward to your comments!

    I would like to know a little more about the reason for the price. Is is just because its currently low volume and because they can charge whatever the heck they want, or is most of it inherent to the manufacturing of the lens and there is basically no hope of this becoming affordable over time? And by affordable I mean 1000 euro or so. Not cheap but not quite as insane as the current price.

  • @Cinnabuns2009
    @Cinnabuns20095 жыл бұрын

    One thing about what you said is not surprising. Even on a regular monitor, rendering in Native to the monitor is a MUCH sharper image than interpolating pixels by up/down scaling so looks like XTAL has taken the correct approach here and not the wrong one (Pimax). Also, I'm not sure why you mentioned "sweet spot" earlier in the video since you said it has Leap Motion eye tracking? Sweet spot would be wherever you look?

    Sounded perfectly fine to me Martin. Thanks for the in depth comparison between the optics on the Pimax vs the XTAL; was very informative. Shows that there are still huge improvements to be had with better lens optics, NOT just higher resolutions. Perhaps the Valve Index lens design, will blow us all away with its different approach.

    Maybe the screen is little more distant from the lens than the Pimax. That could be why higher pixel density perception. But then the screen would have to be larger than the Pimax. And that could explain the bigger size of Xtal compare to Pimax headset.

More than 5000$ is just a little bit too much, but quality is fantastic for sure, incomparable with detail customer oriented Vive, Pimax or Rift. Thanks for the video.

    if i understood correctly much of the improved picture quality is coming from the better lenses. this is interesting to see given the discussion around next gen headsets seems predominantly focused on new tech such as foveated rendering, yet by the looks of things, better lenses would address the key challenge of a better picture, and wider fov, without a huge bump in processing requirements. I suppose top quality lenses aren't cheap and the path to making them cheaper appears more challenging than the other ways to achieve these gains?.....
