[div][p]On regular computers, you can't see and interact with 3D objects - a limitation that doesn't really bother everyday users.

[p]But, for professional users and businesses, it's a capability that can make working on projects and models easier than ever.

[p]Now, this is exactly what Looking Glass Pro, a futuristic new holographic workstation, is hoping to offer.

[p]Here's all about it.

[/div][div][div][div][/div][div]System[/div][/div][h2]Looking Glass Pro: A mind blowing all-in-one workstation[/h2][p]Looking Glass Pro takes the concept of all-in-one PCs and redefines it completely.

[p]The system looks like a 15.6-inch-wide (diagonally) glass box integrated with thick walls and a processing system at the back.

[p]But, this is where things get interesting; when you look at 3D content on this box-like PC, it seems that the object is real, packed in an actual cubicle box.

[/div][div][div][div][/div][div]Working[/div][/div][h2]You can interact with 3D objects on Looking Glass[/h2][div][/div][p]In simple terms, Looking Glass Pro serves as a way to view virtual objects in 3D, without using VR goggles.

[p]The system's display doesn't offer high resolution but produces very realistic 3D holograms.

[p]And, you can easily interact with these holograms (spin/zoom) using your fingers or a mouse connected to the ports given on the back.

[/div][div][h5]What comes under the hood?[/h5][p]Under the hood, Looking Glass is powered by Intel's NUC 8 VR NUC8i7HVK VR kit. It offers an HDMI port, two USB ports, and an SD card slot as well as support for OBJ, glTF and GLB 3D file formats.

[/div][div][div][div][/div][div]Application[/div][/div][h2]Businesses might love Looking Glass[/h2][div][/div][p]When it comes to application, Looking Glass is targeted at businesses, especially those dealing with 3D scans.

[p]The maker of the workstation, Looking Glass Factory, has already launched an app called OrthoScience to help orthodontists use the PC for analyzing 3D scans of patients' teeth.

[p]Notably, it also comes with a second flip-out screen that can help users see and select other scans seamlessly.

[/div][div][div][div][/div][div]Price[/div][/div][h2]Either way, this thing is super expensive[/h2][p]Currently, Looking Glass Pro is up for pre-orders at $6,000 and will start shipping in July.

[p]Now, that's a lot of money, which is why one should invest in this PC only if they could recoup that amount using it as part of their business.

[p]The original Looking Glass that had to be connected with a third-party PC came at half of this price.

[p]Keep Using and Enjoying Infinix.
