 The glasses visually stand out from the competition

! Small space between eyes and lenses and no possibility to control this gap,
which can be a problem for people wearing glasses
! A very high price for the possibilities offered by this headset
! It requires a very powerful computer to run them smoothly (for example, the
recommended graphics card is NVIDIA®Geforce®GTX 1070Ti or above)
! No built-in audio (but there is a 3.5 mm jack input for headphones)
WEAKNESSES ! No controllers from the producer.

! The gap between the glasses and the nose makes you see the floor, which is
bad for immersion
! VR world scaling issues, warping in the FOV, especially at the edges, causing
motion sickness
! Several users reported problems with Steam compatibility
! Not great mechanical quality for such an expensive product
 It is getting cheaper
 Interesting concept that could bring a lot to especially VR gaming (200o)
OPPORTUNITIES

 200o field of view looks very good

! For educational purposes it is too expensive
! The hardware requirements for PCs are so high that it will be a long time be-
THREATS
fore schools can afford to buy them
! Rather designed for gaming purposes

☐ yes
Applicability for teaching, especially when working with SEN students:  no
☐ partly
Pimax 5K PLUS is a product that has a lot to offer and paves the way for future models. However, its price can be
an effective deterrent, especially because additional equipment to the basic hardware is purchased and a very
powerful - and therefore very expensive - PC is needed. The design and weight are definitely its strong point,
giving the impression of a premium product. Although the aesthetics of the product itself may be perceived dif-
ferently depending on consumer taste. Nevertheless, it is impossible to deny that the Pimax 5K PLUS visually
stands out from the competition. However, this model is inadequate for educational purposes. Firstly, you can
buy very good products from other producers at lower price (access to libraries or controllers from other pro-
ducers is more impressive). Nevertheless, the product itself is good and the 200° view performs well (with minor
issues such as blurryness on edges). To run this hardware, you also need a very powerful PC which is crucial when
it comes to using (excluding) it in education. Pimax are making changes to their product which is actually a good
sign of commitment from the producer.
