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.
