No special effects have been used
The Looking Glass is a new holographic display that lets you view, interact with, and share 3D creations in the real world. See whatever you put inside your Looking Glass — from a virtual pet to an architectural model or a CAD drawing of a rocket engine — come to life.
VR is a solitary experience, locked away in a bulky, uncomfortable headset. With the Looking Glass, groups of people can finally interact with 3D content together.

This isn’t some CG hoax or optical illusion. The Looking Glass’ patent-pending hardware and software generate 45-views of a virtual scene, enabling groups of people to see their 3D creations come to life in superstereoscopic 3D, in full-color depth at 60-frames per second.

A letter from Looking Glass Factory
Our team at Looking Glass Factory is a group of 3D creators that uses Unity, Solidworks, Maya, Blender and more every day. To that end, we frequently run holographic experiments with beautiful, expressive, weird, and wild 3D creations made available online. While we’ve done our best to attribute all works to their original creators, we may slip up from time to time. If you’re not properly credited, or we’ve done something that you’d rather we didn’t, don’t hesitate to send me a message and we’ll fix it.
Or, if you’re just curious to see a Looking Glass in person and chat with those of us making the hardware and software behind it, come by our labs in Brooklyn or Hong Kong and we’d love to chat and show you what we’re up to. We’re looking forward to building the future of the hologram together with you.

Pull all your 3D characters and scenes into the physical world to test its behavior or get feedback from others.
Avoid wasted time and money by prototyping your designs instantly as a hologram before building the physical model.
For those experimenting with anything from volumetric video to stereoscopic drone scans, this holographic testbed is made for you.
“A beautiful and elegant piece of technology, affording the viewer the dignity of seeing 3D worlds without strapping a thing to their head.”

Director of hologram sequence in Her
“Finally, people can actually build experiences, build interactions that happen in 3D in autostereoscopic, no-glasses 3D, it’s what everyone’s wanted all along.”

“My initial experience with Looking Glass was really that it’s magic. The way in which you experience 3D is much more natural and instinctive in terms of seeing how you can understand the layers of a space.”
