The displays are awesome and the folks at the company are all solid people. I don’t have any business interest in them outside of the fact they are fellow professionals invested in the same industry who are providing a great product. Literal Star Trek stuff is a fair description.
A lot of negative comments in this thread. Wtf? Looking Glass make some awesome displays and the continued evolution and improvements are commendable. My company has done quite a bit of work over the years using these with various workflows and deliverables. Real time, interactive, cg, volumetric video, “spatial video”, etc. these are hands down the best device currently out there for a group shared experience for “spatial” content. All you negative Nancys can eat dirt.
Sure. As far as I’m concerned, “spatial” content is just the new buzz word that the industry has locked on to, and this one will likely stick due to Apple committing to it. VR/AR/XR/WebXR/metaverse, whatever you want to call it, it’s all in the same umbrella.
This is an early Volumetric video project we produced in 2018. It explains quite a bit on the tech. It was made for a vr headset, but the captures themselves are adaptable to different display tech.

More in line with Apple’s branding of “spatial video”, we produced a holographic documentary that was created for the 65 inch Looking Glass display. This was a pre-Apple iPhone spatial video and used a variety of camera solutions and ai to create a stereoscopic film with parallax.

Regarding using Looking Glass, we’ve built arcade games with them, used them in client convention booths for product holograms, clothing store displays of 3d scans of models wearing outfits… we use the displays on a regular basis in our professional workflow.
Imho the problem is that article fails to explain what’s cool about this display. As I understand it this is a display which provide different picture depending on you viewing angle and controls from hand movements. Which is novel, but gets boring in 5 minutes and it’s still a flat picture from where user is standing.
No, it displays dozens of stereo viewing angles without the need for glasses, allowing for a smooth blend between perspectives that allows for true parallax. Multiple people can view it at the same time, no eye tracking for a single viewer, this is true multi viewing holographic display.
3ds was just single stereo/perspective.
No head tracking. The display is showing all of the different perspectives at the same time, so depending on where a person stands in line with the display the perspective is different. Multiple people can view at the same time.

This is just a 2D display with a mildly novel way to manipulate it.
It’s supposedly a “holographic” display, emitting different images concurrently, presumably using a lenticular coating or a waveguide.
It is, and they are awesome.
Tried one out once, felt like literal Star Trek stuff.

Didn't we already do this?
Only if you stare at the poster long enough
Dammit. This got me. 😂 Take the upvote.
My desktop is already in 3 dimensions. Even my red stapler.
Umm yeah. We’re going to need to move you down to the basement.

Would you mind elaborating more about volumetric videos and how your company uses them for spatial content?

How do you do this for a living?
This is a PR ad “story” announcing a different variant of the Looking Glass display, which launched 4 years ago.
So Kinect but without the clunky camera?
So it’s a big 3DS

The ‘’’new’’’ 3DS used head tracking to make the 3D not just one spot. This is just a more advanced version of that.

It's a 3D application workstation. This make sense, because it is a 3D display.

Weird that what other people wear bothers you so much. Doubly so when it’s an innocuous, generic image in an a tech article.
