I Fixed the Dream Air’s Biggest Problems for Under $35

A few weeks ago I reviewed the Pimax Dream Air (SLAM version) and said it was excellent but had a couple of things holding it back. Since then I’ve been modding the hell out of it. In this video I show the three mods I ended up with two that actually improved performance and comfort, and one that’s pure vanity. The big ones fixed the lightbleed completely and pulled my eyes closer to the lenses, which gave me a real measured gain of 13° more horizontal FOV and about 21% more total visual area. No extra GPU load. I’ll walk through exactly what I used, the numbers from What’s My FOV, and why a custom facial interface made such a big difference on this headset.
