Hardware

First, please follow the Hardware Setup Guide that came with your Looking Glass. If it can't be found, download a copy here:

Software

Leap Motion Setup

This software is already installed on computers purchased directly from Looking Glass Factory

Test your Setup

This simple test can be run to ensure that hardware is connected, and software is installed and configured:

When the above button is pressed, the Looking Glass should show a 3D image like below. To close this image, move your mouse over and click anywhere on the image. The image should appear 3D. If it appears with diagonal lines (as on the right), there is an error. Please retry the setup steps above to ensure it is properly configured. If that doesn't fix it, try troubleshooting. Once the setup is complete, go back to the User Guide welcome page to begin working with the Looking Glass.

Featured Applications

The following applications demonstrate the features / capabilities of the immersive 8K Display:

Additional Software / Development

Download and install to start working with holograms.

Some applications are controllable via the Leap Motion hand tracking hardware (included). To use these features, please the V5 (Gemini) version of the Desktop SDK.

Once setup is complete, visit the section to learn more about the different ways to use the Looking Glass. Alternatively, visit the for a list of applications and development tools available.
