How Looking Glass Displays Unlock Extra Space - Even Where None Exists

What if you could create space where there is none?

With Looking Glass, you can.

For retailers, museums, and designers, space is a limited resource. Showrooms only have room for a fraction of the available inventory. Museums house thousands of artifacts that may rarely see the light of day. Architects and designers create physical prototypes that take up space, time, and money.

Now, that's all changed with Looking Glass. You can now unlock a truly three-dimensional interactive and immersive virtual space, creating a lifelike 3D experience without the burden of leaving a physical footprint.

With our brand new demo applications like 3D Replicas & 3D Shoecase and growing iOS support tools, it’s easier than ever to put into action today.

✨ New Demos - Available Now!

🏛 3D Replicas

A demonstration application of how museums and cultural institutions could bring artifacts out of storage and into public view, providing visitors with interactive, true-to-life holographic exhibits. Learn more and download here.

👟 3D Shoecase

A demonstration application on how retailers can showcase products in realistic 3D, enabling virtual assortments, stockless displays, and immersive shopping experiences. Learn more and download here.

And this is just the beginning. With Looking Glass, you can create a holographic space that fits your needs - easily and at scale.

No headsets required. No bulky setups. No high-powered compute needed. All saving you the need to squeeze around for extra room.

How You Can Do More With Less

With Looking Glass displays, organizations can do more with the space they have, expanding their offerings without sacrificing floor space.

🔹 Museums & Cultural Institutions → Bring artifacts out of storage and into view.

• Thousands of historical artifacts sit in storage, unseen by the public. Looking Glass brings them to life in 3D, allowing museums to showcase their full collections without risking damage to originals.
• With setups like 3D Replicas, museums can build interactive, rotating exhibits, giving visitors a hands-on experience with history.
• Artifacts can be shared globally, enabling institutions to expand access beyond their physical location.

🔹 Retail & High-End Goods → Showcase products in high fidelity 3D without limitations

• Retailers can’t physically display every product in-store. Looking Glass makes it possible to show an unlimited assortment in a realistic fashion.
• Brands can showcase their products in a way like no other while giving customers an interactive, lifelike preview before purchase by creating holographic setups such as the 3D Shoecase demo application.
• Luxury brands can create an ultra-premium shopping experience - showing intricate craftsmanship, gemstone details, and design elements without needing to keep inventory on hand. Looking Glass displays also benefit from being extremely high-resolution with the ability to showcase the most brilliant specular reflections in a unique three-dimensional display, making it the display used by high-end brands like Bvlgari and Louis Vuitton → see more.

🔹 Education, Research & Design → Hands-on learning & prototyping, minus the physical constraints.

• Students & researchers can interact with anatomical models, scientific structures, or historical artifacts in 3D.
  • See here how a teacher in New Hampshire is providing his students with an enhanced learning experience with Looking Glass displays in the classroom.
• Architects & product teams can showcase detailed 3D prototypes with depth and realism, reducing reliance on costly physical samples.
• 3D artists & designers can display their work in a way that preserves their creative vision - letting viewers see true depth, lighting, and perspective in a group-viewable format.

✨ Bottom line? Looking Glass makes it possible to give something the space and spotlight it deserves without making any permanent changes or sacrifices to your environment.
