VR headset with 5K resolution at 380g

The arpara all-in-one VR headset is a virtual reality headset announced by arpara and scheduled for release after August 2021. The reason this product draws attention is its weight. It weighs only 380g. For reference, the Oculus Quest 2 weighs 503g.

The small body is also attractive. It consumes less power and also features a pre-adjustable, battery-powered headstrap. The resolution is 5K and the refresh rate is 90Hz. Considering that the competing model is 120Hz, it is unfortunate, but it is worth looking forward to responding to a higher refresh rate through a firmware update in the future. The viewing angle is 95 degrees. The miniaturization may be the reason, but it is true that the outer diameter of the lens gives the impression that it is smaller than that of its competitors. In addition, the IPD, which is essential for a detailed three-dimensional effect, can be adjusted between 56 and 72 mm.

The body is equipped with a 6DoF tracking function without the need for an inside-out sensor by placing an XR2 chip on it. You can run the application alone and enjoy the SteamVR Windows application by wirelessly connecting to a gaming PC. Related information can be found here.
