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.
