100 Days of Holograms: The List

It’s only been six months since the first holographic desktop display, the Looking Glass, started shipping. In that short time, thousands of people around the world have started to do more things with holograms than those of us who designed the technology ever imagined possible. Holographic microscopes, software robots, holo-aquariums, iPhone X holographic photos, volumetric game engines, holograms that you can touch. We’ve made a lot of guesses at what the holographic future might look like over the years as you can see from the illustrations below, and incredibly all of these applications are now becoming real.

So whether you’re an artist, scientist, inventor, photographer, or general lover of the third dimension it’s more than likely that, whoever you are and whatever you do, you could use a Looking Glass, too.

Inspired by this 1981 Apple poster, over the next 100 days Missy Senteio and I will be posting a new use for the Looking Glass every day. These are the creations of thousands of people around the world leading the way towards the wonderful holographic tomorrow. To the future!
