Looking Glass 8K Immersive Display is “The world’s largest, highest-resolution holographic display.” The screen allows you the privilege of viewing glasses-free 3D content; no VR headgear needed. It’s like the RED Hydrogen One, but big….very big.
The Looking Glass 8K Immersive Display was presented at Inter BEE 2019 by a company called Looking Glass Factory, which is a company of around 30 people with offices in Brooklyn and Hong Kong. The company defines itself as a group of people dedicated to building the holographic future. According to Crunchbase, this small and young company (founded in 2015) has raised a total funding amount of $14M over three rounds to “Build the Holographic Future.”
As stated by co-founder Shawn Frayne: “At 32″ in scale, the Looking Glass 8K is four times larger than any group-viewable holographic system that’s come before. It’s built on our proprietary 45-element light field technology, essentially reproducing the color (at over a billion-count color gamut), and directionality of every ray of light that the ordinary matter of our world would reflect or scatter — but in this case without the matter. This means that anything that is natively three-dimensional— whether it’s a 3D medical scan, a complex point cloud of a landscape, or a character from the next Pixar movie — can be displayed in the Looking Glass 8K in super-stereoscopic three-dimensional glory to groups of people. Without requiring a VR or AR headset”.
According to the company, the Looking Glass 8K Immersive Display delivers an unparalleled 33.2 million pixels via a patented 45-element light field display with over a billion-count color gamut at 60 HzPowered by patented light field technology. The screen is powered by proprietary 45-element light field technology, generating 45 distinct and simultaneous perspectives of three-dimensional content of any sort. This means multiple people around a Looking Glass are shown different perspectives of that three-dimensional.
