Looking Glass Factory is best known for their holographic devices, and their latest is not only cloud-based, but essentially turns any 2D image into a 3D hologram. Called the Looking Glass Portrait, the service utilizes custom machine learning technology to create a detailed depth map from a two-dimensional photo, then analyzes the data gathered to generate the various perspectives required to create a 3D holographic image that can be viewed in the device, like a standard portrait.
What sets Looking Glass Portrait apart from any similar devices is that there are no special devices, like a DSLR or smartphone, necessary required to capture images into an app or what not. Backers won’t have to wait long for the service to go live, as it will be available to all device owners this spring in the HoloPlay Studio software package. The conversion only takes seconds and without requiring any programming knowledgeMore information here.
