Forget the digital frames of yesteryear. Here is the Looking Glass Go, combining holography and AI.
Long relegated to the status of gadgets, digital frames could experience a revival.
This revival, far from being driven by the rise of NFTs as one might have believed, comes from a new technology: holographic display.
Looking Glass, a screen manufacturer, is embarking on this adventure with a Kickstarter campaign to finance a screen. This screen promises to revolutionize the way we perceive 3D digital images.
This innovation is based on light field technology, already used in larger screens at Looking Glass. The specificity of this technology lies in its ability to project three-dimensional images without the need for special glasses.
Additionally, the Looking Glass Go, with its compact 6-inch diagonal size, is designed for mobility. Its screen can be folded, and its display angle is adjustable. This flexibility is accompanied by Wi-Fi connectivity and internal memory capable of storing thousands of holograms. You can also transform your classic 2D photos into a hologram.
But also AI…
What is a tech project, in 2023, if it is not accompanied by a little artificial intelligence?
The Looking Glass Go integrates artificial intelligence, notably powered by ChatGPT. Users will be able to interact with 3D avatars. An application, Luma AI, is already planned to be compatible with this technology.
Looking Glass assures that the implementation of holographic applications will be simplified thanks to dedicated APIs, which should make it possible to obtain dedicated applications.
Priced at around 184 euros during the Kickstarter campaign, the Looking Glass Go represents an investment that should be considered with caution. As in any crowdfunding project, there is a significant risk. You must be aware of the possibility of not seeing the project through or encountering gaps between the promises and the final product.
