Meet Looking Glass Musubi, the World’s First Consumer Holographic Photo / Video Frame

Looking Glass has revealed Musubi, a really device that allows you to project holographic photos and videos directly into your living room without the need for a headset or special glasses. At first glance, the 7-inch frame appears to be a standard picture frame, with the same clean glass border and white matte finish that you would use to show a photo of your grandchildren. Users can simply add their own personal photos or short video clips and watch as they are turned into 3D scenes that appear to float right in the room and follow you as you move about.

The Musubi uses Hololuminescent Display technology, which essentially uses light to produce several view points at the same time, which sounds quite ingenious. This implies that you may combine up to 100 separate viewpoints to create a single image with a lot of convincing depth, allowing several people to see it from different angles all at once. The viewing angle is also rather wide, about 170 degrees, so even if you stand to the side, you won’t lose the illusion.

The 3D effect is achieved using free software on your PC or Mac; nothing fancy, just a local AI that determines what is the main part of the photo or video, separates it from the backdrop, and places it in a 3D environment. It’s all done on your own machine, so no data is sent to any servers, simply copy the files over to the frame with a USB-C cord.

Musubi can store approximately 1000 images or 30 seconds of video clips, and the battery life lasts about 3 hours if not plugged in, but let’s be honest, most people will leave it plugged in all day. They’ve also kept things simple by not including a Wi-Fi connection, an app, or a camera, opting for a clean look.

Musubi starts at $149, and they’re presently offering it for $99 during the first 24 hours of a Kickstarter campaign that launched today. Shipping is scheduled to begin in June 2026, but they intend to proceed with production regardless of the outcome of the campaign, since they have a track record with previous goods.
