Looking Glass Factory

Looking Glass Factory builds group-viewable 3D holographic (light field) displays that require no headset — the Looking Glass Go, Portrait, and the 16", 27", 32", 65" and 86" Light Field and Hololuminescent displays. Beyond hardware it ships a real developer surface: the Looking Glass Bridge runtime exposes a local HTTP REST API for driving the on-device media player, the hosted Blocks GraphQL API at blocks.glass lets apps upload and share holograms (quilt and RGBD images/videos), and official SDKs cover JavaScript/TypeScript (bridge.js, blocks.js, WebXR), Python (Bridge Python SDK), C/C++/C# (Core SDK), plus Unity and Unreal Engine plugins. It was surfaced as a portfolio company of Foundry Group and enriched from its public developer documentation, GitHub org, and package registries.

Looking Glass Factory publishes 2 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Hardware, Holographic Displays, 3D, and Light Field.

Looking Glass Factory’s developer surface includes documentation, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, signup flow, authentication, and 8 more developer resources.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/looking-glass-factory: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
