musubi: the first consumer holographic photo and video frame

About this project

Looking Glass has spent years building holographic displays for enterprise, some as large as 86 inches. musubi is its first device made for the home: a holographic photo and video frame. The pitch is zero-friction conversion, no special capture rig and no 3D pipeline knowledge required. Upload ordinary photos and videos you already own through the free software, and a machine-learning algorithm reconstructs the flat media into full three-dimensional scenes; click Convert and they appear to float inside the display. The frame stores up to 1,000 holograms, loads them over USB-C in seconds, and needs no subscription and no cloud. Press the button and your moments play in a continuous loop, like a holographic mixtape. Under the hood sits Looking Glass' patented Hololumescent display technology, the same core used in its enterprise screens, and a secret menu of tools welcomes advanced users working with NeRFs, Gaussian splats and photogrammetry. Launched in March 2026, musubi drew 3,009 backers and $423,762 — 4,238% funded.

Highlights

  • Old photos become holograms: no 3D camera needed, ordinary media converted by built-in ML
  • Zero subscription: fully local, no cloud dependency, no monthly fees
  • Designed for sharing: one-button loop playback, as natural as flipping a photo album
  • Secret menu: supports NeRF and Gaussian splat workflows for power users
