Looking Glass Debuts 27” 3D Display With iPad Integration and Lower Costs

• Looking Glass has introduced a 27” light field display featuring 5k resolution and 16” of virtual depth, designed for multi-user 3D experiences without headsets.
• The new model reduces system costs by around 35% thanks to iPad-powered operation and streamlined hardware.

Looking Glass has announced the launch of its new 27-inch Light Field Display, the company’s most powerful headset-free 3D system to date. Designed for group viewing, the display renders 100 simultaneous perspectives with 16 inches of virtual depth, allowing multiple users to see and interact with lifelike holograms from different angles, all without glasses, headsets, or eye tracking.

Built to support everything from real-time apps to 4D ultrasound and retail visualizations, the Looking Glass 27 is also the world’s first iOS-powered 3D display. It can be run entirely from an iPad, using a custom Unity plugin to deploy immersive content in minutes, and no external PC is required.

The display is aimed at design teams, research labs, museums, and retail activations seeking a frictionless spatial computing experience that brings 3D content into the real world with no barrier to entry.

🌀 Tom's Take:

When people think of immersive interfaces, they immediately consider wearable devices like headworn displays. Looking Glass has been on a mission to showcase how 3D and immersive content can be experienced without a wearable but through a powerful category of spatial displays
