Following a $15 million funding round just a few months ago, Blelion has unveiled its vision of what immersive visuals could look like. At his CES in Las Vegas, we tested out his 8K fully immersive OLED display. This gives you a VR headset-like experience without having to tie anything to your face.
“Brelyon Fusion allows light to be blended to scale the field of view in new ways that achieve multiple resolutions,” explained Barmak Heshmat, CEO and founder of Bredion, in an interview with TechCrunch. Did. “This kind of new lightfield augmented innovation allows us to think of light as pieces of Lego blocks that we can construct in computers to create more immersive screens.”
The technology is currently a prototype and won’t hit the market for some time (the company estimates it’s 3-4 years from now). The core technology is what the company calls his Ultra Reality, which uses precise wavefront engineering to create a huge field of view with profiled true optical depth. The bottom line is a display that completely surrounds the field of view. It also adds spatial audio and uses a series of cameras to track your head position and adjust what you see on the display accordingly for maximum immersion.

Um, for whom?
“We see this as a similarity to the headset experience, where you don’t have to put the headset on. Of course, the enterprise market is one of the early adopters. We buy,” Heshmat explains. “This is great for gamers, people who use multi-monitor setups, or people who want to do something with a headset but don’t want to stand and dance all the time. It’s a very immersive desktop experience.”
The company notes that the market is spending tens of billions of dollars buying VR headsets, but believes immersion shouldn’t be on par with headsets.

“TI’m sure there are other solutions for people who don’t want to wear a headset but still want to be immersed. Some of the elements are now cheaper,” says Heshmat. “This allows us to create what we call ‘optical displays. It uses a combination of optical and computational techniques to provide these virtual images without the need to wear goggles. We are the architects of these new categories of displays. “
If you like videos with a bit of deep trance music and music video style fast edits, Blelion has a few more visuals.
