The Looking Glass community makes a ton of awesome tools, plugins and projects that while aren't officially supported by Looking Glass Factory, are totally awesome!! We've cataloged a few projects here.

Given that these are not official Looking Glass applications, we canโ€™t guarantee all of these community made tools will work with every platform on every Looking Glass. But they are awesome and if youโ€™ve questions, hop on Discord and chat with the creators themselves!

If you made a project that you'd like us to share here let us know and we'll add it! Send an email to Bryan@LookingGlassFactory.com!

HoloPlay - p5.js allows you to use the P5.js library to create 3D visuals using 2D layers placed in 3D space. This web tool sends quilts directly to HoloPlay Service.

Holographic Earth allows you to view satellite data & locations directly from the web on your Looking Glass!

Plugins & Template files

HoloPlay - R allows you to create quilts from data visualization graphs made in the R programming language.

Desktop Tools

GLSLViewer is a flexible console-base OpenGL Sandbox to display 2D/3D GLSL shaders without the need of an UI. GLSL viewer can output to quilt files or directly to Looking Glass Portrait systems.

Desktop Apps (Windows)

HoloDesktop takes the contents of your screen and passes them through a neural network to output a 3D representation of them. It works excellent in YouTube and other video applications.
