July 2024 Updates @ Looking Glass 😎
Hey hologram people!
It’s Reid here with our latest monthly update and wow, what a month it's been! From coast to coast, classrooms to film festivals, we’ve got quite a bit to catch up on. So, sit back and relax, and I’ll take you through the fun stuff we’ve been getting up to ↓
Next Stop: Siggraph with NVIDIA 🚀
Hold onto your holograms, folks!
We're back at Siggraph! Find us at NVIDIA's Innovation Zone with our new group viewable Looking Glass 16" and 32" Spatial Displays giving an immersive experience powered by NVIDIA AI and NVIDIA AI Developer - you won’t want to miss it!
Bonus! NVIDIA even gave us a shoutout in their recent blog for the event. 🤩
Classroom Case Study 📚
A reply to my June Updates led to a brand new case study! After seeing a 3D stock car racing scene created by a student (and as a motorsports fan myself), I had to learn more.
Discover how Mr. Johnstone at The Manchester School of Technology is using Looking Glass Displays to spark creativity in his Game Design class here. 🏎️
Liteforms Power Boost 💪
We've just rolled out a powerful update to Liteforms - our no-code builder to create conversational AI characters on Looking Glass! 🎉
Upgraded to support our Gen3 hardware and VRM access for all users → you can now create custom avatars in tools like Blender and bring them to life in Liteforms! Plus, there's several improvements under the hood, some of which include an upgrade to GPT-4o and enhanced knowledge search.. Get to creating today!
Community Catch Up 🤝
The talented Looking Glass community is constantly in action. Here’s a quick roundup:
→ NYC VR Meetup: Community Manager, Arturo, had a blast at the NYCVR meetup, sharing Looking Glass with the local VR community!
→ A beginners guide to AI holograms: Our friend, Jim the AI Whisperer, penned a new blog, and it's a perfect primer for beginners using Luna, Blender, and Looking Glass.
→ Class is in session with Professor Massimo: Talented creator Massimo (@mv.nyc) crafted a video tutorial on making 3D holograms with a Looking Glass Portrait and Blender. Check out his step-by-step guide here.
Hey.. Is it just me, or is anyone else noticing a little theme here? Hmmm - it seems like we’re breaking down the technical barriers for spatial content a little more each day. We’ll have an exciting update on that for you soon. 👀

AWE-some Memories 🌟
Last month, I left you off with a pretty cool announcement: we were heading back to AWE. Well, we went, and the team had an amazing time! A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to say hi and see our new range of spatial displays.
Relive some of the memories on our social media: featured in the XR History Museum, take a walk through the event, Looking Glass at other booths.
Hey -- that looks familiar! We're thrilled to be back at@ARealityEvent this year, and it's our honor to be recognized alongside pioneers in the XR space.

Phew! What a month 🤠
I shouldn’t be too surprised. Since joining just a few weeks ago, the team is constantly blowing me away with their dedication to our dream of the hologram. As always, we're grateful for your support and enthusiasm for us, and I can’t wait to see what everyone creates next month!
Until then,
To the future!
