Looking Glass Portrait
The world’s only personal 3D holographic display. No headset required.
Your creations, displayed as you intended.
Looking Glass Portrait brings your three-dimensional content to life in a true 3D holographic display that is as real as the world around you. (On your desk, not your headset). The Portrait is a personal holographic sidekick — a tool for exploration and endless imagination.
True, dynamic 3D.
Using Looking Glass' proprietary light field technology, the Portrait displays not just depth but also the directionality of the millions of rays of light in the virtual worlds it represents. This allows the Portrait to deliver up to 100 views of a 3D scene simultaneously—generating a truly three-dimensional experience, with no headset required.
