Looking Glass taps ChatGPT for holographic cartoon animals
Two things have always felt true about Brooklyn-based 3D display startup Looking Glass. First, their technology is really cool. I’ve seen it in person several times over the years, and it always impresses. Second, is that I can’t quite figure out who it’s for. A major pitfall for commercial innovation is that both of these things can be true at once. The 32- and 65-inch systems are cost prohibitive, even for a lot of corporate buyers. At $399, the desktop Portrait is far more accessible, but the feature set needs expanding. I know one person who bought one to show off his NFTs — as niche as that market has always seemed, I would think it’s even smaller now given everything that’s transpired in the past couple of years. If you own an NFT, hide your shame. For its part, Looking Glass is continuing to push the boundaries of what can be done with these screens. At the high end is some fancy 3D imaging for various professions, and for the aforementioned Portrait? The startup …
Envisics raises $50M at a $500M valuation for its in-car holographic tech
The automotive industry is starting to show some signs of recovery after a big contraction during the Covid-19 pandemic, and carmakers planning for the next five years are looking at what new features might help them eek out more sales. Envisics — a U.K. startup that designs holographic in-car technology that projects navigation, safety alerts and other data on the inside of the windscreen (commonly described as heads-up display, or HUD) — is today announcing $50 million in funding, as it vies to be a part of that conversation. The funds will be used both to carry out work with current customers on Envisics’ existing holographic technology, with customers including GM; and to continue developing the next generation of the platform, which Dr. Jamieson Christmas, the founder and CEO, says come in a smaller form factor that will make it possible to build into cars of all sizes (and price points), and with more enhanced video capabilities. “Our next-generation technology unlocks much more of the holographic potential,” he said in an interview. “We really are on …
