Brelyon introduced the world’s first monitor with programmable image display depth

Brelyon, a company created from a team of specialists from MIT, announced at CES 2025 a line of Ultra Reality Extend displays with a fully immersive effect, capable of rendering virtual images at different display depths.

Ultra Reality Extend is the first commercial multifocal monitor to support multi-depth overlay capabilities, allowing users to see images as deep as 0.7 to 2.5 m virtually rendered behind the monitor, creating the effect of viewing through a window.

Advances in AI in video processing are opening up new possibilities for image display. While AI has long been used to enhance images, such as HDR conversion and upscaling, a new phase is now dawning, Brelyon noted. Advanced hardware and software capabilities allow you to transform smaller streams into multiple larger streams, creating high-performance visual portals.

The Ultra Reality Extend platform with its software and computing capabilities (Brelyon Visual Engine) is developed by Brelyon to put these advances into practice. It uses transformers to automatically assign depth bits to video content in real time, creating depth effects and augmenting annotations in the user’s field of view, providing a multi-focus experience.

«Moving the industry from the era of photorealism to the era of photonic realism and designed for high-performance applications such as simulation and training, control centers and teleoperations, Ultra Reality Extend is a new platform for artificial intelligence and light impacting enterprise visualization, navigation and computer interaction ,” said Barmak Heshmat, CEO of Brelyon.

Whether processing sensitive data for operators or creating immersive simulations for training, AI allows you to add an information layer to existing data. AI-enabled features such as auto-annotation and auto-highlighting enhance users’ ability to navigate workspaces efficiently without blocking the main video stream.

Ultra Reality Extend functions as an 8K capable display (4K, 60Hz with 1-bit monocular depth). Created in partnership with UDC and LG, the display offers curved 2D virtual images based on an OLED panel, with the largest size up to 122 inches and a depth of 2.5 meters, visible through a 30-inch frame. Because the supported depth allows images to be seen optically farther, the display can be positioned closer to the user, providing an even larger field of view.
