The immersive screen from Brelyon is the TARDIS of monitors.

At CES 2025, Brelyon showcased its latest immersive display known as Ultra Reality Extend. Its design challenges expectations, as the perceived depth and size exceed the physical dimensions of the monitor. This device is marketed as the world's first commercial multifocal monitor, combining the usability of a traditional desktop screen with the spatial depth typically associated with virtual reality headsets.

Although the maximum simulated depth of the Ultra Reality Extend is 2.5 meters, which is considerably less than devices like the Meta Quest 3S or Apple Vision Pro, the fact that it requires no additional equipment (beyond a PC connection) makes it a truly attractive option. Furthermore, its usage is much simpler: one simply needs to position themselves in front of the monitor, which reduces visual strain and the risk of nausea often associated with virtual reality glasses.

The monitor, while bulkier than a standard display, offers a visual experience that feels immense. From a 30-inch frame, the Ultra Reality Extend can create a virtual screen equivalent to a 122-inch curved monitor. Its 4K/60Hz resolution uses 1-bit monochular to produce spatial content that resembles 8K, allowing scene elements to appear closer or farther away as appropriate to the situation.

While watching a clip from the game Spiderman, the movement of the trees and lamp posts felt so realistic that my body reacted involuntarily. In other sequences, the screen managed to separate layers of content, making the snow in the foreground appear blurry while the characters in the distance remained sharply focused. This effect is so striking that experiences on flat screens cannot match it.

Behind this innovative monitor is Brelyon's Visual Engine, which allows for the automatic assignment of different depths to elements in real-time games and videos, without the need for additional programming. However, developers have the option to further optimize their content to take advantage of Brelyon's technology, potentially adding greater depth and immersion.

Unfortunately, this unique approach to spatial content creation comes with a high cost. Currently, the Ultra Reality Extend is offered at a price range between $5,000 and $8,000 per unit, depending on the client and potential partnerships with Brelyon. This implies that the device will be more focused on enterprise buyers, who will use it for ultra-realistic flight simulators with depth-enabled interfaces, rather than for everyday users looking for a sophisticated monitor for movies and games. However, if Brelyon's technology thrives, we may see broader access to these innovations in the future.
