OLED Image Retention or Burn-In: Burn-in and image retention are possible on virtually any display. Most cases of burn-in in OLED displays are a result of static images or on-screen elements displaying on the screen uninterrupted for many hours or days at a time – with brightness typically at peak levels. To mitigate this, we would recommend not to have your Looking Glass 16" display connected to your computer if you are not showing any moving content for hours at a time.
6. Download plug-ins & software to create your own applications
Download Looking Glass Model Viewer here to easily load your own 3D models onto the display.
Download the latest Looking Glass Unity plug-in here to create your own interactive applications.
Access our native SDK here to integrate your custom OpenGL, DX, or Metal renderer.
