At CES, this VR headset wears you - TechCrunch

Hot connected the heels from its $15 cardinal fundraise conscionable a fewer months ago, Brelyon showed disconnected its imaginativeness for what immersive visuals could look like. At CES successful Las Vegas, we tried retired the 8K afloat immersive OLED display, which gives a VR headset-like acquisition without having to strap thing to your face.

“Brelyon Fusion allows the blending of airy to standard field-of-view successful a caller mode that achieves multiples of resolution,” explained Barmak Heshmat, CEO and laminitis of Brelyon successful an interrogation with TechCrunch. “This benignant of caller lightfield enlargement innovation truly allows america to deliberation of airy arsenic pieces of LEGO blocks that tin computationally beryllium built to make a much immersive screen.”

The tech is presently a prototype that won’t deed the marketplace for a small portion yet – the institution guesses 3-4 years from present – but it’s profoundly awesome nonetheless. The halfway exertion is what the institution calls Ultra Reality, usingprecise wavefront engineering to make a monolithic tract of presumption with a profiled existent optical depth. The upshot is simply a show that wholly surrounds your tract of view. It besides adds spatial audio, and uses a bid of cameras to way your caput position, adjusting what the show is showing accordingly for maximum immersion.

So, er, who is it for?

“We spot this arsenic a parallel to a headset experience, without radical having to enactment connected immoderate headsets. Of course, the Enterprise marketplace is 1 of the aboriginal adopters. They are already buying immoderate of our older models,” Heshmat explains. “This volition beryllium fantastic for gamers, anyone that uses multi-monitor setups, oregon wants to bash thing with headsets but doesn’t privation to basal up and creation each the time. It is simply a very  immersive desktop experience.”

The institution points retired that the marketplace has spent tens of billions of dollars buying VR headsets, but that it believes that immersion shouldn’t adjacent headsets.

“There should beryllium different solutions for radical that don’t privation to deterioration headsets, but inactive privation to get immersed. What’s happening successful the manufacture is that due to the fact that headsets are becoming much mainstream, immoderate of the elements that were utilized for headsets are present becoming lower-priced,” Heshmat says. “That allows america to make what we telephone ‘optical displays.’ They usage a operation of optics and computational techniques to springiness you these virtual images without you having to deterioration goggles. We are the designer of these caller categories of displays.”

If you similar your videos with a spot of deep-trance euphony and music-video benignant accelerated edits, Brelyon has immoderate much visuals for you:
