Looking Glass lets designers view items in 3D

It is a “virtual three-dimensional world on your desk unaided by VR or AR headsets

Unity developers along with 3D graphic designers and mechanical engineers have been working to create a Looking Glass that is a unique holographic display which will use a combination of lightfield and volumetric technologies.

The Looking Glass is a patent-pending combination of lightfield and volumetric technologies that bring virtual 3D content to life in full colour of up to 60fps. It will generate 45 distinct views of a 3D scene so that two or more people standing around the Looking Glass can see from different views.

The display has already surpassed its pledged goal of $50,000 on Kickstarter.



The app will configure with various hardware including MacBook Pro Core i5 however it is meant to work best on a Windows 10 (64 bit) with a RAM space of 4GB or above and an internal storage of 128GB or more.

Delivery of its early purchases is expected to start at the end of the year with the product selling at $450.
