Looking Glass

Looking Glass Factory builds light field (holographic) displays — group-viewable 3D screens ranging from the pocket-sized Looking Glass Go to 16", 27", 32" and 65" panels — plus the software that drives them. For developers, the core surface is Looking Glass Bridge: a local runtime that exposes an HTTP REST API on http://localhost:33334/ for enumerating connected displays, opening the media player, building playlists of Quilt and RGBD holograms, and controlling playback. Around it Looking Glass ships official client libraries — the typesafe bridge.js (@lookingglass/bridge), a WebXR polyfill (@lookingglass/webxr) that targets the displays from any WebXR framework, a Python Bridge SDK, the legacy HoloPlay Core C/C++/C# SDK, and engine plugins for Unity, Unreal and Blender. Looking Glass Blocks (blocks.glass) hosts holograms on the internet. The company is backed by Uncork Capital and headquartered in Brooklyn, New York.

Looking Glass publishes 6 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Autostart API, Devices API, Orchestration API, and 3 more. Tagged areas include Company, Holographic Displays, Light Field, 3D, and Developer Tools.

Looking Glass’ developer surface includes documentation, API reference, engineering blog, pricing, signup flow, authentication, and 18 more developer resources.
