Your Next Computer Screen Could Be Holographic
JULY 25, 2018
“Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you’re my only hope.”
If you’ve ever wished you could recreate the iconic scene in Star Wars, where Luke Skywalker discovers a holographic message of Princess Leia, pretty much kicking off the entire franchise, you can now get a lot closer to that dream. Unfortunately, you won’t be using an R2-D2 astromech droid to do so, but rather a new type of display developed by Looking Glass Factory, a Brooklyn-based startup.
Today, July 24, the company announced the eponymous Looking Glass, a completely self-contained display for viewing three-dimensional, holographic content. Think of it like a second screen for your computer that allows you to view objects in three dimensions, without the need to put on a clunky headset.
Founded in 2014, Looking Glass has been toiling away to realize the dream of science-fiction writers (and Victorian inventors), where we interact with three-dimensional objects in the way we do with tablets or other touchscreens today. It produced an interactive display last year that it showed to Quartz, where users could manipulate virtual objects in a 3D space. Its latest product is meant to be a little less cumbersome.
