The First Headset-Free Virtual Monitor: Replacing Multi-Monitors Using Lightfield Engineering
Dr. Barmak Heshmat, CEO, BRELYON
Presentation Abstract
Immersive displays generally either involve giant screens or headsets that place tiny screens and lenses close to a person’s eyes. BRELYON a deep tech display startup in Silicon Valley is introducing a new category of displays that provide a large field of view (larger than most VR headsets) as well as a sense of depth with no need for wearing any headsets.This talk will dive into the principles of depth perception and how that along lightfield engineering may be used to increase the field of view and realize such new categories of displays.

Dr. Barmak Heshmat is the CEO of BRELYON a display technology startup in silicon valley. Barmak was former head of optics at Meta Augmented Reality where he was leading a team of engineers to realize the next generation of augmented reality headsets. Before that Barmak was a research scientist at MIT Media Lab for 4 years where he was mentoring graduate students and directing research on advanced imaging and display systems. Dr. Heshmat has given six TEDx talks and has many publications and inventions some of which are featured on cover of MIT news, Nature photonics and other mainstream media outlets such as BBC, CBS; Tech crunch etc.
