New holographic display: Looking Glass “Portrait”

For the past 2 years I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my original Looking Glass Display, which lets me view my 3D stereo photography in holographic form. Think Princess Leia in Star Wars – “help me Looking Glass, you’re our only hope” for a personal hologram! Hard to describe how realistic the effect is, but it’s like being able to look around the sides of an object or scene. Really offers a new way to look at your photographs, even ones you’ve seen countless times. Not just still images, but you can shoot & view Lightfield / Lightrail movies too, and enjoy a whole range of 3D apps & experiences, some of which are even interactive. Well, get ready for this… their newest invention could easily bring holography to everyone!

Great news is the fact that now anyone with a new iPhone, or similar depth-map capable (‘portrait mode’) phone or tablet, can almost instantly see their photos in holographic 3D on this device; no extra steps necessary. You no longer even have to make a depth map first!

The new Looking Glass “Portrait” will be available in spring of 2021; reserve yours at nearly 30% off list price via Kickstarter for $249 (normal price is $349). Learn more & order it HERE
