After the digital frames, know the holographic frames

After the digital frames, the technology industry wants to take a leap forward and introduce a new concept: the holographic frame. The company responsible for the handset is Looking Glass, and is looking for funding to make this project a reality.In summary, "The Looking Glass" can be used to reproduce, holographically, the final versions of digitally created three-dimensional models. The model can be seen holographically thanks to a lenticular lens, which enables the reproduction of 45 different perspectives of the same object. Thus. it is possible to achieve the three-dimensional effect, which will let you see different parts of a model depending on its position in which it looks at it.Looking Glass believes that this gadget may be popular with artists and professionals working with 3D modeling, such as video game animators, product designers or architects. According to the company, the device will support the connection of external controllers, such as Leap Motion and Nintendo's Joy-Con.

 

Note that in order to work, The Looking Glass must be connected to a computer. To achieve a minimally consistent performance, the company recommends an Intel Core i5 processor, 4GB of RAM and an Nvidia GTX 1060 graphics.
In the software domain, the gadget will integrate support for OBJ, FBX, STL and gLTF.
The Kickstarter page of the project says there are two models: an 8.9-inch, which will cost about $ 600, and a 15.9-inch, priced at around $ 3,000.
Looking Glass guarantees that the first 100 units will be shipped as early as early September, with the remainder leaving the warehouse as of December.
