Looking Glass

we put an 86" HLD in a trade show, train station, mall, stadium + bookstore.
(virtually, for now.)

the fun of a human-scale holographic display that’s about 2" deep: it can go almost anywhere a screen can.

where would you put one?

turn an HLD sideways and the weird part clicks.

the 16" + 27" are under an inch thick. even the human-scale 86" is about two inches.

the depth you see is built into the display's optical stack. familiar video goes in; a person or product suddenly has somewhere to stand :)

throwback to when we built a museum exhibit from the year 2065.

a lot of the hardware changed. A few of the predictions got wonderfully weird. But the future we were chasing looks remarkably familiar: 3D images should live in the world with us, and people should be able to experience them together.

the best creative tools disappear.

Studio 2.0 makes creating for Go a lot less fiddly:
→ send straight to Go, no cloud
→ video support
→ local 2D-to-3D
→ fewer settings

limited alpha this week. and Go is $99 through today → look.glass/go

hologram content workflow:

1. open HLD Author in Chrome
2. drop in a photo / logo / video
3. move it around a little
4. add a shadow
5. export

that’s it. your existing 2D assets now have somewhere much stranger to live.
