Looking Glass Launches $99 Musubi Holographic Frame on Kickstarter With June Ship Date

The 7-inch frame converts everyday photos into glasses-free, depth-rich holograms using local AI with no Wi‑Fi or cameras.

Overview

  • The campaign opens with a $99 early price for the first 24 hours before a $149 standard price.
  • Photos and videos are converted on a PC or Mac with a free app, then transferred over USB‑C; the device operates entirely offline.
  • Onboard storage holds up to 1,000 images or 30‑second clips, with roughly three hours of battery life or continuous use when plugged in.
  • Musubi uses Looking Glass’ Hololuminescent Display to present multi‑view “window” holograms viewable by several people without glasses, not free‑floating volumetric projections.
  • Looking Glass targets first shipments in June 2026 and says it will build the device regardless of Kickstarter funding, though typical crowdfunding risks still apply.
