We go hands-on with The Looking Glass, the new display from a company that's been experimenting with various forms of volumetric and lightfield imaging in pursuit of real-world holograms. Looking Glass Factory's CEO Shawn Frayne explains how this new display works and how he sees 3D artists using it to visualize their creations.

best norm interview ever. really tangible example of how outdated our tech will be in 20 yrs

@VideoSage 4 года назад

Kill, The, Camera, Man. FFS- don't just move the camera 2-3 degreese back & forth, move it the full 50, so we can actually see the depth! FUNK! This is an issue even the official videos have, where they don't do this, and as such, fail to truly capture any sense of depth.

@johnpoo1662 3 года назад

They wont do this because it will look like shit

@ThomasGrillo 3 года назад

I agree. Most filmmakers stick to a format of only moving (dollying) about 5, maybe 10 degrees around the talent, for set based limitations, to avoid lighting, and production assistants getting into frame. But, in this case, I'd have set up a flex track dolly, for a 45 degree arc, around the two displays, to truly capture the products' capabilities. Unfortunately, a lot of interviewers, and filmmakers don't understand what's going on. When I gave a demo and lecture, on holography, for Public Access Television, I had to BEG the cameraman (it was a male), to physically dolly the camera side, to side, and not pan the camera, to show the parallax of the hologram. I can forgive the cameraman, as it was his first time seeing holograms. :)

@interare. 6 лет назад

This is the same technology from prey, I would love to see these guys team up with Bethesda and at least make a cool product display for prey 2, whenever that's announced.

@Denois95 6 лет назад

It's literally called the looking glass

@sopothetocho 6 лет назад

Prey is already Prey 2 tho. Like Literally.

@rensin2 6 лет назад

*Edit: I just did a little research can confirm that it is just a cleaner 3DS screen NOT a Lightfield Display.* If this has vertical parallax and Z-parallax in addition to horizontal parallax then yes it is a real light field display like LFDs in Prey. However I strongly suspect that it only has horizontal parallax based on what Shawn Frayne did and did not say. If my suspicion is correct then this is just a cleaner 3DS screen and not really comparable to the light field displays in Prey

@cooper419 6 лет назад

I think they called it a looking glass for a reason

@Holobrine 6 лет назад

I want a pen that virtually extends its tip into the display, so I can sketch in 3D. Then I want to import that sketch into Blender as a grease pencil drawing so I can start modeling from there.

@0LoneTech 6 лет назад

The interaction bundle includes a leap motion tracker, which does not only track hands but also pens. I wrote a rough prototype script for Blender that imported data from it. So yeah, that's within reach. Real time 3D views from Blender is also one of the things under development, according to the campaign page.

@anothergol 6 лет назад

so it's lenticular and all 45 views only on the horizontal axis?

@Visuwyg 6 лет назад

That's how I understood it. Lenticular video. Spiffy!

@xenontesla122 6 лет назад

I think it's more than the horizontal axis since they described the space of viewing angles as a "cone".

@john_hunter_ 6 лет назад

It's a light field display so it has horizontal and vertical views. I've seen a similar looking device called a tensor display. That device uses fly eye lenticular lenses and multiple lcd panels to direct the light in all directions.

@anothergol 6 лет назад

I don't think so, because all over the video it's visually described as horizontal, plus if 45 views were on both axis, that would be what, 9x5 views maybe? I don't think that only 9 horizontal views for that viewing cone would look this smooth. But really, the fact that nowhere in the video it moves vertically gives it away. And it would also tell about a different angle for the vertical axis, which would in no way require as much as horizontal. And 45x the content looks like a lot of extra's to render, that would have to be coupled with a camera detecting all of the faces/eyes in the room to know which of the views to render. Then yes, it could realistically be on both axis.

@john_hunter_ 6 лет назад

I guess it might only be horizontal. Here is a video of a tensor display where they show horizontal and vertical views. They can get fairly smooth transitions but I'm not sure how many different views they are using. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4r6lY8S4A6E.html

The camera never shows any variety of angles to make it look like a 3D image. Guess it’s just something you have to experience in person. Just looked like a 2d screen in this whole video

@unipachu 5 лет назад

I wonder if it has different vertical viewing angles...

@macboerTV 6 лет назад

Show the effing product! Why just film from one angle?

@TV4Fun2 4 года назад

I'm noticing just about every video I see of this in any marketing material seems very careful about the camera angles it uses, and that makes me very suspicious, as you'd think different angles would be their biggest selling point.

@diceblue6817 4 года назад

From what I gather - the lucite at the front is mostly there for fake purposes to make it seem more magic than it is. It's weird I missed this product when it was being talked about, but I was thinking about using those old optical filter 3d tricks the other day. I want to see a cut-away light path for this and see what's going on. I think the big "hide" here is the lucite block is put there to make it seem more than it is.

@insidethebind1201 6 лет назад

I like how everyone’s saying this has no practical use, and VR doesn’t either... When both products have always only been marketed for entertainment... It’s like complaining that Xbox and PS4 are impractical 😂 Future uses: Actual holograms - FaceTime & drawings. TV and video game full 3D models! Learning tool for education. New creative form of animation! Take it or leave it. It’s innovative nonetheless.

5 лет назад

VR can already be used to educate and show scaled-up concepts of things people used to only see in a microscope, not to mention Google Earth is now properly working in VR and you can take a walk in places you're gonna be and learn routes in another country without paying for a plane ticket.

@Cubinator73 4 года назад

You have the coolest 3D display in your video and don't care to rotate your camera more than 10° around the display, are you kidding me!

@AbhishekMukherjee 6 лет назад

We need a looking glass "table" top. Also, is it possible to have something like this in a flat tablet like device instead of a volumetric one? That'll give an impression of depth inside the device, and it would be portable.

@Star-Explorers 5 лет назад

Can you imagine going into a theater and having the projector be the entire space between you (in the first row) and the movie screen wall and everything is in 3D? You could literally walk around the theater and see the movie from an entirely different angle and you would not need any visor glasses to see it. You would literally be IN the movie. That is badass!!

@MD_Builds 5 лет назад

I really love how he utterly avoids explaining how it actually works...

@JonathanHoltOnGoogle 5 лет назад

He does though... It's similar to how 3ds works, but instead of 2 images being split by the screen it splits it into 45 images so you can look from many angles. The underlying display is interlaced into 45 images and then the block splits the interlaced image out to images only viewable from specific angles.

@micflynn1 6 лет назад

Almost the same technology I came up with 20 years ago, by laying LCD screens on top of each other with no reflection layer between them so you can see thur all 12 screens and then slicing a image up 12 times and each layer displayed on one screen so when viewed it looks 3d. Was also going to back light it with a laser to make it into a 3d holographic image that pops out from the screens.

@outlawdraco 6 лет назад

@ThomasGrillo 3 года назад

@SinanAkkoyun 5 лет назад

How does it work exactly with combining the 45 views?

@j________k 5 лет назад

So normal ldc pixels project a single light ray and it spreads out in almost all directions. You could think of the pixels here as hemispherical. They project different light rays(with varying colour and intensity) depending on two angles (azimuth and altitude). It starts with a normal lcd screen and they add a plate which directs the light to different angles depending on the spatial translation of the lcd pixels below

@j________k 5 лет назад

I imagine it works much like FOVI3D. I found this diagram helpful: static1.squarespace.com/static/5644a5f8e4b07810c0b90694/t/5b8811656d2a73c0d2ef2b53/1535644014073/DK2_hogel_breakdown.jpg

@SinanAkkoyun 5 лет назад

@@j________k Thank you very much. So can I imagine the redirection as not radial but linear rays getting to a microarray of lenses that combine the views into one? I still can't imagine why the glass box is so deep...

@j________k 5 лет назад

@@SinanAkkoyun Yep I think you've got it, it takes a bunch of input pixels in the layer below and combines these into a single "light field pixel" vias lens with 45 views spread out based on the radial angles. So as for why its soon deep ide expect the screen and lenses to be a good couple of cm but no more. But... driving this sort of gigapixel display setup will require a lot of electronics, so I think most of this depth is just that.

@SinanAkkoyun 5 лет назад

@@j________k I mean the depth of the "glass" part, not the drivers. Anyways, your diagram helped very much. But they would have to have a really really high resolution display...

@Hoto74 6 лет назад

The biggest issue ist the early technical stand, all this techniques need to grow up more and we also need more computing power. We are still a bit too early for this stuffs, but we are so close to it like never before.

@KuraIthys 6 лет назад

Yes. What I saw being demoed back then was amazing - in theory. Just one problem; It used eye tracking to make the problem even remotely tractable. (calculating a holographic projection for 2 degrees is apparently a lot simpler than doing it for 90+ degrees), and it needed multiple extremely high end GPU's, and even then ran at poor framerates and in black and white (solely due to processing limitations.) - and note these GPU's weren't even calculating a dynamic 3d scene - they were literally just calculating the various ways light needed to be projected to correctly create an image... And of course, the hypothetical displays this would create would be obscenely expensive for good measure. (not to mention the computer you'd need just to power the display, with even more needed to actually get the display to do anything useful.)

Ok. So this is cool and I want to get checkout the demo. Do I want to buy one, maybe. Don't know what the resolution is. Or the brightness. Just looking at it as is, the 15" is way more compelling but is 6x the price for double the size. So while I might by the small one for shits and giggles. Actually buy the useful size would have to wait for a real need. What I really want to know is, what is it going to take for them to make this as the equivalent of a monitor. So that you can have a screen like this where you can just use windows but it also happens to have the 3d component. That would ideally be 27 or 28 inches at a minimum. Or is that just not possible with this kind of technology?
