'''Arpara VR All In One''' is a [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] that was cancelled before release.
The '''arpara VR All In One''' was a cancelled standalone [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[arpara]], a Chinese technology company. Announced in June 2021, the device was marketed as the "World's First 5K Micro-OLED All-in-One VR Headset" and featured dual 5K micro-OLED displays powered by a [[Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2]] processor.<ref name="prnewswire">{{cite web|url=https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/arpara-vr-5k-headset-and-all-in-one-headset-announced-globally-301302120.html|title=arpara VR 5K Headset and All-In-One Headset Announced Globally|publisher=PR Newswire|date=June 1, 2021}}</ref>
 
== History and Development ==
 
=== Company Background ===
arpara is a technology company focused on developing high-resolution micro-OLED display technology for virtual reality applications. The company positioned itself as a pioneer in bringing professional-grade display quality to consumer VR headsets.
 
=== Global Reveal Event ===
On June 1, 2021, arpara hosted a global reveal event titled "Discover Yourself in a Parallel Universe." During this event, the company announced both the tethered arpara VR headset and the standalone arpara All-in-One VR headset.<ref name="prnewswire"/>
 
=== Kickstarter Campaign ===
Following the announcement, arpara launched a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign. The campaign was highly successful, significantly exceeding its funding goals. Early bird backers could secure the All-in-One headset for $529, with regular pricing at $599.<ref name="kickstarter">{{cite web|url=https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/969477673/arpara-worlds-first-5k-micro-oled-all-in-one-vr-headset|title=arpara: World's First 5K Micro-OLED All-in-One VR Headset|publisher=Kickstarter|date=2021}}</ref><ref name="tweaktown">{{cite web|url=https://www.tweaktown.com/news/83415/arparas-5k-micro-oled-vr-headsets-smashed-their-kickstarter-goals/index.html|title=Arpara's 5K Micro-OLED VR headsets smashed their Kickstarter goals|publisher=TweakTown|date=2021}}</ref>
 
=== Estimated Delivery ===
The original estimated delivery date for arpara headsets was March 2022.
 
=== Cancellation ===
The All-in-One version of the arpara headset was ultimately cancelled and never reached commercial production. The tethered arpara VR headset, however, did ship to backers and reached the market.
 
== Design and Hardware ==
 
=== Display Technology ===
The arpara All In One featured what the company claimed was the world's first 5K micro-OLED display system in a standalone VR headset:
 
* '''Display Size:''' Dual 1.03-inch micro-OLED panels
* '''Resolution:''' 2560 x 2560 pixels per eye (5120 x 2560 combined)
* '''Pixel Density:''' 3514 PPI (pixels per inch)
* '''Pixels Per Degree:''' 32 PPD
* '''Color Gamut:''' DCI-P3 90%
* '''Response Time:''' 1μs (microsecond)
 
The high pixel density was specifically designed to eliminate the [[screen-door effect]] that plagued earlier VR headsets. The 1μs response time significantly reduced motion blur and overall system latency.<ref name="ledinside">{{cite web|url=https://www.ledinside.com/node/32029|title=arpara VR 5K Headset and All-In-One Headset Announced Globally|publisher=LEDinside|date=2021}}</ref>
 
=== Field of View ===
The headset offered a field of view of 95 degrees horizontal and 90 degrees vertical, providing an immersive viewing experience.
 
=== Processor ===
The All In One was powered by the [[Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2]] platform, the same chip used in the [[Meta Quest 2]] and [[HTC Vive Focus 3]]. Key processing capabilities included:
* Support for 6 concurrent cameras
* 11x AI processing power compared to previous generation
* 8K video decoding support
 
=== Weight ===
Despite the advanced display technology and standalone computing, the headset maintained a relatively lightweight form factor at 380 grams.
 
=== Battery ===
The device included a 4600 mAh high-capacity battery for extended usage sessions.
 
=== IPD Adjustment ===
Hardware-adjustable interpupillary distance (IPD) ranged from 56mm to 72mm, accommodating most users.
 
== Tracking and Input ==
 
=== Inside-Out Tracking ===
The All In One utilized built-in cameras for 6DoF (six degrees of freedom) inside-out spatial tracking, eliminating the need for external sensors or base stations.
 
=== Hand Tracking ===
The Snapdragon XR2 platform enabled hand tracking capabilities through the built-in cameras.
 
=== Controllers ===
The system included 6DoF motion controllers for precise hand-based input.
 
== Connectivity ==
 
=== Wireless Streaming ===
The headset supported both wired and wireless streaming to play SteamVR content from a connected PC, extending its content library beyond standalone applications.
 
=== Network Connectivity ===
Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth enabled wireless connectivity and accessory support.
