Following its announcement that the company would be expanding its 3D light field display line, Looking Glass is now shipping its latest addition, a 27-inch version. The new display, with a 1-inch-thick design, has a resolution of 5K and provides a 12-inch virtual depth. It carries a price tag of $10,000.

In addition, the company is offering a suite of software updates for creating and showing content on its displays, and leveraging open-source tools. These include:

Create applications

• Bridge SDK: Developers can build or integrate custom applications using a native SDK for OpenGL, DirectX, and Metal. Samples for C++, C#, and Python.
  
• Updated Unity plug-in: Visualize 3D Unity scenes in the Looking Glass, build fully interactive 3D applications for Looking Glass on PC, Mac, or iOS, and preview scenes with live editor view in a Looking Glass display. 

Show content

• Updated Looking Glass Studio: The latest version of Looking Glass Studio supports iOS and allows users to playback pre-rendered image and video content from Unity, Unreal, Blender, or standard 2D images and videos with generated depth.
  
• 3D model viewer: Users now have access to explode and slice views of their 3D models to better visualize the internal components of a model, and can view a list of submeshes that provide full insight into those components (coming in July).
  
• CAD support to 3D model viewer: Architects, engineers, and professionals utilizing CAD software can now visualize their designs in immersive 3D using Looking Glass (coming in July).

Leverage open-source tools

• Open-sourced Blender, WebXR, and Unreal Plugin: By open-sourcing several plug-ins, developers are now able to extend and customize the software to meet their specific needs. The open-sourced Unreal plug-in will be released in July.
