Brelyon plans to unveil its Ultra Reality product line at CES 2022. Ultra Reality is the world’s first headset-free virtual monitor. The monitor relies on years of R&D optics at MIT as well as Brelyon’s new optical tech for monocular depth.
With a 120-inch plus curved display, the Ultra Reality offers panoramic views. Developers combine novel physics and computer optics with Brelyon’s superconic light-field technologies to create “cinema-scale virtual images with meters of true optical depth that pans across both eyes, all in a small desktop footprint. “according to a press release.
The San Mateo, California-based tech company’s mission is to blend innovations in computer science, physics and human psychophysics to develop high-bandwidth experiences. Brelyon prides itself on pioneering immersive experiences sans headsets.
Ultra Reality: Isolation Is Over
With Ultra Reality, the isolation that occurs with VR headsets is a thing of the past while still offering the same level of immersion. Brelyon’s monitor supports legacy content as well as “massive virtual screen real estate.”
“With Ultra Reality™, Brelyon is pioneering a new category of immersive displays to bring gaming, e-sports, metaverse experiences and beyond to the desktop,” Dr. Barmak Heshmat, founder and CEO of Brelyon, was quoted as saying in a press release. “Control on monocular depth has long been the missing ingredient for AR/VR and 3D TVs — that’s because most current 3D displays simulate depth using bulky stereoscopic headsets or glasses that tricks your eyes into believing they see a 3D image. Brelyon has invented a new kind of optical technology for Ultra Reality™ that solves the problem of monocular depth, ushering in a new era of holodeck-like immersive 2D and 3D displays that are set to replace the traditional desktop monitor.”
At CES, Brelyon will demonstrate the integration of LG Display’s P-OLED technology with their Ultra Reality monitors. Likewise, Brelyon also plans to show how their technological advancements in computational wavefront engineering allow Ultra Reality’s large panoramic screen to offer varying levels of depth without needing a VR headset.
Brelyon will demonstrate the Ultra Reality line at CES from January 5th through January 7th, 2022. Afterward, Brelyon is offering virtual tours, which are schedulable by contacting them at [email protected].
