Looking Glass is now making the Looking Glass Go – a much thinner and mobile version of their glasses free holographic Looking Glass Portrait display. This isn’t new tech, but it is interesting to see people working in the space again.

With their software, you can make your own images and display animated content as well. Viewing angle is about 60 degrees and is created from up to 100 different still images.
