Brooklyn-based Looking Glass Factory has announced the launch of a truly gigantic holographic display that can boast the credentials of being the largest screen display of its kind.
As its name suggests, the 'Looking Glass 65' holographic display has a mindblowing size of 65 inches, and is said to be five times larger than any other 3D holographic display out there. The unit is capable of producing displays at an aspect ratio of 16:9, offers a preposterous color depth in excess of a billion colors and is capable of generating 100 unique perspectives of 3D visuals, which ensures that up to 50 people at a time can be accurately immersed in its visuals.
Looking Glass Factory's CEO Shawn Frayne has posited that this display is set to mark a new era in immersive media consumption. "Similar to the shift from photographs to film, radio to television, and black & white to color over the past century, the Looking Glass 65 will usher in one of the monumental shifts in how media is consumed, from flat 2D media to deeply 3D," Frayne said.
