For enterprises that have been waiting decades for a large-format holographic solution that doesn’t require the friction of VR or AR headsets, the Looking Glass 8K Immersive Display is now shipping worldwide. Orders are being accepted on the Looking Glass website: http://look.glass/8k.
This breakthrough system, powered by Looking Glass Factory’s proprietary light field technology, is a true holographic window into another world. The Looking Glass 8K delivers an unparalleled 33.2 million pixels with over a billion-count color gamut at 60 Hz, making it not only the largest holographic display in the market today but also the highest fidelity. The Looking Glass 8K operates on optical principles and a software platform that doesn’t require any head-tracking or VR or AR headsets, making it ideal for companies that want to view or interact with 3D content in areas such as engineering, mapping/GIS, medical imaging, entertainment, and more.
The Looking Glass 8K’s hardware and software have been developed by a team of industry-leading optics experts, electrical engineers, and software developers in Brooklyn-based company Looking Glass Factory, the market leaders in holographic light field displays. Having sold thousands of Looking Glass developer kits over the past year, the company created the Looking Glass 8K to meet the needs of enterprises who were looking for a deeply visceral, genuinely three-dimensional experience.
Industry Testimonials
Greg Castle, an early investor in Oculus and Managing Partner at Anorak Ventures, said about the Looking Glass 8K: “[the] most mind-blowing thing I’ve seen since I first tried the Oculus prototype.”
Automotive / Architecture / Engineering
“Having access to a glasses-free holographic display is a massive breakthrough, and presents an exciting prospect for teams working in immersive computer graphics, visualization and content creation,” explained Kim Libreri, CTO, Epic Games. “The Looking Glass holographic display provides a stunning level of realism, and we look forward to seeing the innovations that emerge with the support of Unreal Engine generated content.”
Medical Imaging
“Understanding anatomic structures in three dimensions is critical for multiple aspects of high-quality patient care, including teaching trainees, educating patients, and procedure planning,” said Dr. Yuh Z. Lee, Associate Professor of Radiology at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. “The Looking Glass enables us to see and discuss anatomy in three dimensions collaboratively, without the need for cumbersome goggles or glasses.”
“GE Healthcare’s customers, both hospitals and the patients they care for, daily ask the question ‘what does that x-ray/CT/MRI/ultrasound tell us?’” said GM of Additive Manufacturing at GE Healthcare, R. Scott Rader. “Presenting anatomy and disease pathology in 3D on 2D screens happens every day, but being able to share 3D lightfield imagery with a Looking Glass to a clinical care team, residents/fellows, patients, and other allied health care workers is one exciting potential solution to translating seeing to knowing, fast.”
Mapping
“What could be cooler than a live 3D model of your construction project, displayed on a table in your HQ, showing progress in real time?” asks Chris Anderson, CEO of drone company 3D Robotics.
“3D maps on the Looking Glass [8K] display are immediately more engaging, immersive and collaborative. Quite simply it blew my mind.” Abhishek Tripathi, Head of 3D Terrain at mapping platform Mapbox
Volumetric Storytelling
Dave Smiddy, Head of Product at Intel® Studios says of the Looking Glass, “Looking Glass makes volumetric video content social and accessible. With the Looking Glass SDK we quickly bring volumetric video and immersive experiences to life.”
