Looking Glass has introduced Looking Glass Go, a portable holographic display merging high-resolution holograms and the creative prowess of AI.
Building on the triumph of Looking Glass Portrait, the desktop display that debuted on Kickstarter, Looking Glass said it is now extending the marvel of holographic displays into a compact, portable form factor.
Shrinking the holographic experience into a cell phone-sized device, Looking Glass Go promises an easier and more accessible way to convert 2D and 3D imagery, including characters generated by ChatGPT, into vivid, lifelike holographic projections.
Users can indulge in the 3D transformation of 2D photos, spatial images captured by Luma AI, and spatial art into realistic 3D holograms. Looking Glass Go enables them to share these experiences anywhere, anytime, and without the need for VR or AR headsets.

“Two major trends are converging: 3D spatial platforms and generative AI,” said Shawn Frayne, CEO of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Hong Kong-based Looking Glass, in a statement. “Fueled by Apple’s announcement of the Vision Pro, the spatial photo capabilities in the iPhone 15, and the prevalence of 3D game engines and more powerful GPUs, spatial platforms are on the rise.”
Frayne added, “At the same time, we’re seeing generative AI breathe life into 3D content creation. Looking Glass Go takes those two innovations and wraps them into an insanely compact system you can use anywhere. This is the future I grew up dreaming of, and I couldn’t be more excited for everyone to go into that future together.”
The company touted the following features:

From reliving and sharing holographic memories to interactive conversations with customizable holographic characters, the device and AI suite of software unlock a realm of possibilities, the company said.
2D to 3D Transformation: Offering a seamless transition from 2D to 3D, Looking Glass said it breathes life into treasured images, enabling users to experience their beloved characters and moments in a vibrant holographic display.
