Looking Glass Factory has been making and shipping lightfield displays into the world since 2017. Since then, Looking Glass has gone through a continuous process of invention, software development, developer relations and content distribution to become the most widely distributed lightfield display and lightfield content ecosystem in the world. Looking Glass co-founder Alex Hornstein will share the boots-on-the-ground story of the company’s development leading up to the launch of the Looking Glass display, and Looking Glass’ path as it ushers its lightfield displays into a rich ecosystem of content creators, early adopters, researchers, and professional users.
