A New Era of Spatial Displays
Looking Glass, a pioneering startup in the field of holographic displays, has announced the shipping of its new lineup of spatial displays. The company’s latest offerings include two larger models, the 16-inch and 32-inch Spatial Displays, which are now available for customers. The smaller model, with a price tag of $4,000, is ready to ship, while the 32-inch model’s pricing will be made available upon request.
The Game-Changer: Looking Glass Go
However, the most exciting development in this lineup is the $299 Looking Glass Go, which has been touted as a major breakthrough in making holographic displays more accessible to a wider audience. With its six-inch display, foldable base, and ability to display spatial images with its own hardware, the Go device is poised to democratize the experience of holographic technology.
A History of Innovation
Looking Glass has consistently pushed the boundaries of what is possible in holographic displays. Its previous devices, including the $399 Portrait, a holographic digital photo frame, and the Go, which debuted on Kickstarter, have already shown great promise. The company’s commitment to innovation and accessibility has been evident from its early days.
Lowering the Barrier to Entry
The introduction of the Looking Glass Go marks an important milestone in making holographic displays more affordable for mainstream users. With a price point starting at just under $300, the device is set to appeal to those who were previously priced out of the market. Looking Glass’s efforts to make its technology more accessible have been ongoing, with the company also offering software that can convert older 2D photos to 3D and transfer them wirelessly to the displays.
A New Era of Spatial Displays
The Looking Glass Go is not just a device; it’s an opportunity for users to experience holographic technology in a whole new way. With its compact design, foldable base, and ability to display spatial images with its own hardware, the device is poised to revolutionize the way we interact with information.
Growing Popularity
Prior to the release of the Looking Glass Go, the company had already shipped "tens of thousands" of displays. With the new pricing strategy in place, it’s expected that this number will grow rapidly, attracting users who were previously curious about holographic technology but couldn’t afford the high price point.
The Future of Holographic Displays
Looking Glass’s commitment to innovation and accessibility has set a new standard for the industry. As the company continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in holographic displays, it’s likely that we’ll see even more exciting developments in the future.
The Impact of Apple Vision Pro and Spatial 3D Capture Capabilities
The introduction of the Looking Glass Go coincides with the growing interest in spatial 3D capture capabilities, fueled by the release of Apple’s Vision Pro headset. Looking Glass notes that this trend has inspired them to create a headset-free holographic device for mainstream users.
A New Era of Innovation
The Looking Glass Go is not just a device; it’s a testament to the power of innovation and creativity in shaping the future of technology. As we move forward, it will be exciting to see how this new generation of spatial displays continues to push the boundaries of what is possible.
