What can I do with a Looking Glass?

A Looking Glass display is a 3D canvas for every type of creator. It allows you to view and create holographic content with a variety of built-in or added-on software tools and plugins customized for our displays.

Whether you're just getting started and converting images to 3D or using more sophisticated 3D software, you'll likely find a way to showcase your work on a Looking Glass. Our displays are compatible with software tools, such as:

  • Unity — The Looking Glass Unity Plugin allows you to create holographic characters, experiences, and entire worlds in Unity for your Looking Glass.
  • Unreal — The Looking Glass Unreal Plugin allows you to see, play, and interact with your digital creations in 3D within Unreal Engine.
  • Blender — Create beautiful holographic scenes and animations with our community-made Blender add-on.
  • WebXR — Build holographic experiences on the web with the Looking Glass WebXR library.

Not too familiar with 3D software? Instantly convert any 2D image into 3D using our hologram sharing platform, Blocks, and playing that back with our desktop media player, Looking Glass Studio.

If you're just looking to get the Looking Glass to display a bunch of incredible creations from our community, you can cast hundreds of these straight from your browser to your Looking Glass using Blocks.

If you're still unsure about what kind of content you can make for or display on the Looking Glass, you can always email us at support@lookingglassfactory.com for more helpful tips and tricks.

Alternatively, if you're wondering which display to start creating with, we recommend checking out with the Looking Glass Go. It comes pre-installed with a demo reel made from our suite of plug-ins and tools and can give you an easy reference as to what sort of real-world and synthetic content you can make for your Looking Glass.
