In Virtual Reality News

January 9, 2026 – Pimax, a manufacturer of virtual reality (VR) hardware, debuted its next generation of PC virtual reality (PCVR) headsets to the public at CES 2026. The company demonstrated the final production model of the ‘Crystal Super Micro-OLED,’ alongside its new ‘Dream Air’ and ‘Dream Air SE’ devices.

Both the Crystal Super Micro-OLED and the Dream Air utilize the same optical stack, featuring 4K Sony micro-OLED panels per eye and Pimax’s proprietary “ConcaveView” lens technology. The company noted that the Dream Air SE is positioned as a more affordable version of the Dream Air, though it also utilizes the ConcaveView lenses.

Through close collaboration with hardware partners, Pimax stated that it aims to demonstrate how high-end PCVR can reach its full potential as part of a complete ecosystem. Attendees at CES were able to experience motion feedback and control systems across racing, flight, and active VR setups.

It gives us not only feedback on our new devices, but also validation and meaning to our work as we keep pushing forward. Together with our VR partners, we create experiences that simply aren’t possible anywhere else.”
