A small group of misfits and I founded a company called Looking Glass Factory to prove it was possible to make a real holographic display. We wanted to create a device that could generate living, dynamic, computer-controlled holograms — the technology of our dreams that would conduct fields of light in just such a way as to open up a three-dimensional window into another world. One that we could look into together without needing VR goggles or AR glasses.</p><p id="abc8" class="pw-post-body-paragraph nu nv gu nw b nx oy nz oa ob oz od oe of pa oh oi oj pb ol om on pc op oq ns gn bk">After creating hundreds of prototypes, by 2018 we’d cracked the core technical problems and started shipping the world’s first holographic display dev kits to thousands of hologram hackers around the world.
