Looking Glass has unveiled two new mixed-reality screens that simulate three dimensions without the need for special eyewear.
Looking Glass produces mixed-reality screens that simulate three dimensions and don’t require special eyewear. Today, it unveils two new screens, including a sixteen-inch model that retails for $4,000. Additionally, there is a 32-inch monitor with a price tag that reads, “If you have to ask how much it costs, you can’t afford it.” The displays’ ability to accommodate both landscape and portrait orientations allows for a wider range of content types and applications.
At least the prices are starting to decrease compared to the previous 15-inch model, which cost $6,000. A few years ago, the business also introduced a $350 holographic digital photo frame and software that allows you to enhance your Christmas photos to look even better.
Without the need for headsets, the cutting-edge displays offer breathtaking group 3D visualization, allowing professionals working with 3D content to be productive without the hassle or weariness of wearing extra gear.
The company claims that professionals in design, engineering, education, research, and healthcare use its products for cutting-edge visualization.
Together with the recently revealed Looking Glass Go, the new displays round out the company’s selection of spatial products. While the Looking Glass Go transforms 2D images into 3D memory, the larger formats cater to XR developers and experts.
Utilizing these displays also has the benefit of allowing groups to watch the content, which is very useful in collaborative settings. The business claims that up to 100 distinct users can experience the content simultaneously.
With gesture-based controls and a broad range of media compatibility—including holographic pictures, HD films, and real-time applications—the displays further improve immersive experiences by removing the need for users to pick at computer screens.
Looking Glass provides a number of choices for creating content, such as WebXR, Blender, Unreal, and Unity plugins. It also includes a software development kit for making personalized holographic content and a 3D model importer.
