Lookng Glass Go is a foldable holographic display that you can carry in your pocket. Combining high-resolution holographic display and generative AI ChatGPT.
The company Looking Glass grew out of the success of Looking Glass Portrait. We have previously focused on holographic displays and developed holographic displays of various sizes, including 16 inches, 32 inches, and 65 inches.
“Phone-sized Looking Glass Go is an easy way for users to bring their favorite images and memories to life in 3D and share them visually with others, without having to wear AR or an AR headset,” he said.
Looking Glass Go is crowdfunding on Kickstarter, with a starting price of $199. Backers are expected to receive their products in June 2024.
You can view 3D objects without wearing a VR headset and even interact with them based on ChatGPT.
At 6 inches, it is 10 times thinner than previous holographic displays. It's thinner than most phones and has twice the pixel density. You can share 2D images and videos captured on your phone, spatial photos created with Luma AI, and 3D spatial art by converting them into 3D holograms. Even if you have no knowledge of 3D, you can create a hologram by entering text with generative AI. More advanced expressions can also be achieved using existing 3D production methods such as Unity and Unreal Engine.
The Looking Glass Liteforms app lets you chat with AI-powered 3D characters. All you need is a photo to create a 3D avatar. You can also easily change your character's appearance and voice.
It requires an external power source and is the first product to have Wi-Fi internet connection and Bluetooth connection to receive holograms from the cloud. If it runs on batteries, it can only be left on for a few hours.
It reminds me of the COEX wave outdoor advertisement produced by d'strict. This is a wonderful project that created a new dimension in the interior space of a square building, and combined with its overwhelming size, it attracted people's attention.
Looking Glass Go still feels like a giant hologram. It's not the same as AR, which creates depth inside a flat screen, but I can't think of any impact this will have on our way of life. Rather than being portable, I think it would be better to look at it from the perspective of a picture frame that will change the atmosphere of your space.
However, these spatial experiences will continue to expand in the future. Efforts to move away from digital displays that differ from our natural state will continue in the future. Although it is still difficult to find major UX changes, hologram display technology is likely to grow further in the future.
