Ultra-Clear VR Headsets

'arpara' Has Created Two Micro-OLED VR Headsets with High-Res Displays

— December 15, 2021 — Tech
NFT and tech accessory-focused startup 'arpara' has created two high-quality VR headsets that are intended to address the 'screen door' effect in VR. The screen door effect is a reality-breaking VR phenomenon where there are visible gaps in between pixels that take the wearer out of the immersed environment. arpara has created the 'Tethered' and 'All-In-One (AIO)' headsets that have addressed these issues.

These VR headsets feature dual 2560x2560 micro-OLED displays, one for each eye, with a 1 microsecond response time. On top of this, these headsets feature 3514 PPI and a 95° field-of-view. When all of these visual features are combined, the screen door effect does not apply and users can experience a smooth, clear viewing experience for games, movies, and experiences in virtual reality.

The key difference between the AIO and the Tethered headsets are the wire. The AIO headset has wireless capabilities and a processor of its own, while the Tethered headset is meant to be used with accompanying hardware, such as a computer.
