Our story
Looking Glass is a team of inventors, engineers, game devs, and artists chasing the dream of the hologram – specifically, the cinema dream of the hologram we were all promised in Star Wars, Iron Man, and Minority Report. Where groups of people can interact with floating 3D worlds without VR or AR headgear. We’ve recently made a couple breakthroughs that put that dream within reach, including the upcoming release of HoloPlayer One. Any fellow hologram hackers (or skeptics!) out there, come by our labs in Greenpoint, Brooklyn (the Home of the Hologram) and Hong Kong, see HoloPlayer One in person, and finally catch the hologram with us. The future depends on it!
