The tech world is always searching for a way to steal our hard-earned cash, and thanks to an endless torrent of awe-inspiring products, it’s becoming more difficult to save for the next big upgrade. This unique Looking Glass Portrait doesn’t make things any easier — pairing cutting-edge technologies and rotational captures to create one of the world’s first holographic displays.
Capitalizing on an emerging trend known as “depth photography,” the Looking Glass Portrait brings lifelike holograms into your home, courtesy of its proprietary interlacing software; all you’ll need is a modern camera system, a little bit of time, and an aspiring model. After you’ve acquired those things, you’ll be able to utilize your camera’s conventional shooting styles to take panning photos of your subject, which you can then import into the company’s software to create a standard 3D file for use within the product’s display. If you’re looking to create your own amazing photographs, but you don’t have a proper setup, you’ll be able to buy the company’s Creator Bundle, encompassed by its own stand, rail, and Azure Kinect camera. Head to the company’s Kickstarter to learn more. While you’re there, you’ll be able to pick up the Looking Glass Portrait for $200 and up.
