Pimax has just announced the Lighthouse panel, a new tracking extension accessory designed specifically for its Crystal VR headset that promises to give you a better VR experience with enhanced peripheral extension, high-precision tracking, and a host of other features.
Lighthouse panel designed for PimaxCrystal VRhelmet design. Once installed, it will make the headset compatible with Steam's external lighthouse base station system, tracking your movements with submillimeter precision.
You can also customize the tracking options on the Lighthouse panel. This gives you greater freedom of movement and full-body tracking for specialized applications such as scene extensions and corporate training, enabling deeper physical engagement.
Since the Lighthouse panels are compatible with existing SteamVR base stations and controllers, there is no need to replace your current controllers.
Here is a list of tracking devices compatible with Lighthouse panels:
- Pimax Sword Controller
- Index Knuckles Controller
- Vive controller
- Vive Tracker 1.0 / 2.0 / 3.0

Before making a decision, there are a few things to be aware of: Lighthouse systems do not support the use of multiple base station systems in the same space. Also, to prevent inaccurate positioning due to reflections, you need to avoid placing reflective objects such as mirrors in the space. Finally, a single panel system supports up to 16 object tracking.
