Looking Glass Introduces Musubi Holographic Photo Frame

• Looking Glass has launched musubi, a consumer device that converts photos and videos into holograms using a local desktop application.
• The standalone frame stores up to 1,000 holograms and runs without WiFi, cloud processing, or subscription requirements.

Looking Glass has introduced musubi, a holographic photo and video frame aimed at bringing holograms into the home. It’s a standalone device with no need for connectivity, built to change how we view and share memories by making them feel more alive and present.

Users can turn photos or moments from videos into holograms, then move them onto the device over USB-C. The frame can hold up to 1,000 holograms and plays them on a loop or lets you click through them manually. The device has a built-in speaker and a rechargeable battery that supports up to three hours of wireless playback.

Looking Glass, founded in 2014, is a hologram and light field display company with multiple hardware and software patents and a history of shipping display products and running Kickstarter campaigns. musubi is built on its Hololuminescent Display technology, previously used in larger display systems. The Kickstarter campaign has raised $347,744 from 2,541 backers, over 34x its $10,000 goal, with 21 days remaining, and offers early pricing starting at $109 with estimated delivery in June 2026.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

This is Looking Glass taking the technology it has already built for larger displays and packaging it into a simple, self-contained product for everyday use. This form factor not only makes holographic media accessible but also leverages existing media formats consumers use every day, rather than new proprietary formats.
