Looking Glass Ships 27” Light Field Display; Releases New Software Updates
Brooklyn, NY - July 1, 2025 - Today, Looking Glass, the leader in light field display technology, announced that its most powerful three-dimensional display to date, the Looking Glass 27", is now shipping to customers. Complementing the release is a suite of software updates designed to enhance 3D application and content creation for its displays.
The Looking Glass 27”
Unveiled in April 2025, the Looking Glass 27" is engineered to deliver immersive, multi-user 3D experiences, all without headsets, glasses, or special gear. It furthers the company’s vision of liberating 3D from the constraints of single-user devices, making it ideal for innovation labs, research centers, educational institutions, training facilities, brand activations, retail environments, and entertainment venues.
Boasting 5k resolution within a sleek 1 inch thick design, the 27" display projects an astonishing 12 inches of virtual depth, creating 3D experiences that captivate audiences and enhance visual communication for groups. Recent software advancements even enable the displays to be powered by iPads in addition to GPU-enabled computers, significantly reducing the operational footprint and delivering an approximate 60% system-level cost reduction compared to its predecessor.
The Looking Glass 27" is available on the Looking Glass website for $10,000 (MSRP).
