Unboxing the Looking Glass Portrait
PASCAL Lab, always at the cutting edge of technology, has just received the Looking Glass Portrait. A device for the diffusion of holographic contents for the general public but also interesting for companies.
I participated in the Looking Glass Factory 's holographic display development program and produced a Keyshot script to produce high quality holographic images for the entire range of displays from portraits to 8K displays.
Naturally, when the Looking Glass Portrait was announced, I also participated in the crowdfunding program. It is a combination of a Raspberry pi 4 and the holographic display that I had tested during the development programme (see ETA Calibre).
So I bought the device at the unbeatable price of $264 in January 2021 (it is now September 17, 2021). Here is what the box contains:
And here is the result produced from 2D photos. The result is impressive thanks to AI, Looking Glass can guess the depth of field and reconstitute a 3D image. The result is even more impressive with real computer-generated images or a photo constructed from several viewpoints. You can find a lot of examples on the Look Glass Factory website. If you want to see the result with the Keyshot plugin on a watch movement, here is the link. If you wish to acquire such a device or their big brothers do not hesitate to contact me, I could integrate your CAD files (TellWatch, STEP, Creo, Solidworks, Catia, ...) and produce an image or a video with an optimal rendering.
