How do I make my videos 3D?

Great! You've booted up your Looking Glass Display, but then now what? How do you actually make content that is playable on your display?


First, make sure you have the right computer specifications for your display. Then, download Looking Glass Bridge to allow your display to run with your PC.


If you have a Go:

  1. Hologram Video

You can use the Hologram Video app to convert any Cinematic Mode video captured by iPhone into a hologram. You can download the app from the App store here. The current version of Hologram Video is only compatible with iOS devices.

For a step-by-step guide on how to upload Cinematic Mode videos to Hologram Video and the Go, click here.


  1. Via Unity, Unreal, Blender, WebXR, or Model Viewer

All Looking Glass displays feature compatibility with a number of 3D modelling programs. Using the respective plug-ins and add-ons, you can easily display content from program to display (via Looking Glass Blocks).

If you have a 16" or 27" Display:

  1. Hologram Video

As the 16" and 27" displays are compatible with the iPad Pro (M4), you can also use the Hologram Video app to display Cinematic Mode Videos.


  1. Via Unity, Unreal, Blender, WebXR, or Model Viewer

Similarly to the Go, you can showcase original 3D content from computer to display via the plug-ins above.


  1. RGB-D Videos or Quilts

You can still create holographic videos without 3D software by creating RGB-D or Quilt videos. To learn more about RGB-D or Quilt videos, click here or here.

Once your content has been created in the correct format, you will need to download Looking Glass Studio onto your PC in order to allow playback on the display.

Advanced users can generate their own custom RGB-D videos with AI tools like Depth Anything, DepthCrafter, and Owl3D.

If you have a 32" or 65" Display:

As the 32" and 65" Displays are only compatible with PCs, you will only be able to display content through the last two methods:

  1. Unity, Unreal, Blender, WebXR, or Model Viewer
  2. RGB-D Videos or Quilts
