Note: Looking Glass Core is no longer being actively developed. Please instead see Looking Glass Bridge SDK which supports all of the same features and more.

Looking Glass Core (previously HoloPlay Core) apps will continue to work with Looking Glass displays sold prior to 2024.

HoloPlay Core unlocks the ability to integrate your existing 3D software with Looking Glass displays, making the Looking Glass a holographic second monitor.

HoloPlay Core comes in two different flavors:

  • Native dynamic libraries for Windows, Mac, and Linux

  • JavaScript for web or Node development

Check out how Schrödinger used the HoloPlay Core SDK to improve their workflow.

The Looking Glass Core SDK is currently in closed beta. To apply, click here.

Email us at developer@lookingglassfactory.com if you have any further questions about how you can integrate HoloPlay Core into your software
