Meet Looking Glass Musubi, the World’s First Consumer Holographic Photo / Video Frame
SMRTR summary
A 7-inch picture frame that looks like any other sits quietly on a shelf, but step closer and your family photos suddenly float in mid-air as three-dimensional holograms. Looking Glass has unveiled Musubi, a device that transforms ordinary snapshots into holographic displays without requiring headsets or special glasses.
The frame uses something called Hololuminescent Display technology, weaving together up to 100 different viewpoints to create convincing depth that follows you around the room. The viewing angle spans 170 degrees, meaning multiple people can experience the illusion simultaneously from different positions.
Local AI software on your computer analyzes photos and videos, separating subjects from backgrounds to create the 3D effect. No data leaves your machine, and files transfer via USB-C cable to maintain privacy.
The device stores around 1000 images or 30 seconds of video clips, with a three-hour battery life, though most users will likely keep it plugged in. Starting at $149, early Kickstarter backers can snag one for $99, with shipping expected in June 2026.
