Don't let the slim profile fool you — the Pimax Dream Air is still a very modular headset, thanks to the detachable parts such as the facemask, the audio stems, the backstrap, and an additional USB-C interface. There's now a growing community of creators expanding what it can do. Here's a rundown of everything available, from prescription lenses to strap swaps and software tricks.
Prescription Lens Inserts
Not strictly "mods" in the traditional sense, but essential for a lot of users. The good news is you have several options depending on your budget and how precise you need them to be. These inserts swap magnetically onto the Dream Air.
Pimax Official Inserts — Pimax sells their own inserts at fixed diopter strengths directly from their store. Simple, no-fuss, and officially supported.

HonsVR — A popular third-party option for custom prescription lenses made specifically for the Dream Air.

3D Printed Mods
This is where things get fun. The community over on Printables has been busy.

Alternative Face Gasket (Max FOV) — Not a fan of the default mask shape? This alternative gasket is designed to maximize your field of view and may suit different face shapes better than the stock option.

Vive Deluxe Audio Strap Adapter — Want to use the beloved Vive DAS with your Dream Air? This adapter makes it possible, bringing better weight distribution and the built-in audio that DAS users love.

Apple Vision Pro Dual Knit Band Adapter — Yes, really. If you happen to have an Apple Vision Pro headband lying around (or just want the premium fit), this adapter lets you mount the Dream Air to it.

Software Mods
These aren't exclusive to the Dream Air, but they're particularly relevant for pushing the headset's capabilities further.
3D Depth Boost by Primashock — A clever tool that claims to deliver up to 50% more perceived depth in VR. It's worth checking out if you want to get more out of the Dream Air's already impressive displays. 🔗 https://www.reddit.com/r/virtualreality/comments/1s9zdm3/3d_depth_boost_up_to_50_more_fps_in_vr/
AI-Driven Adjustable FOV Profiles — This one is still in development and not publicly available yet, but there's a preview video showing AI-generated FOV profiles that could be a game changer for fine-tuning the experience. 🔗 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DnMCCkZGcFw&t=15s
And there's another third-party SteamVR driver coming soon.
Also in Pimax Play you'll find dozens of custimations. VoodooDE takes you through the latest 2.0 version:
