Upload any picture or video, and Musubi uses artificial intelligence<\/a> to extract the most important part and hover it in space as a 3D image within the frame. That could be a video of a child\u2019s first steps or a snapshot of a birthday party. (Or, like one of Looking Glass\u2019 examples, a cat exposing its butthole.) The image will be displayed in 3D form, viewable in all its holographic glory across nearly 170 degrees.<\/p>\n \u201cThe goal for us is to bring holograms to everybody,\u201d says Looking Glass CEO Shawn Frayne. \u201cIn a way, it gets as close to the sci-fi dream as humanly possible.\u201d<\/p>\n The Musubi is a far cry from something like the hologram-adjacent Ava AI<\/a> that gaming company Razer announced at CES this year and revealed more details<\/a> about this week at the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco. Razer\u2019s offering is an AI chatbot character that floats in a 3D tube you can put on your desk. The company is pitching it as a “Friend for Life” that can chime in while you\u2019re gaming or help organize tasks in your daily life. (Yes, it is rendered to look like a cute anime girl, but there are other characters.)<\/p>\n The Musubi is a 7-inch photo and video frame. There is no Wi-Fi connection required, no app, no cameras on the device, and no subscription service to keep it working. The actual processing required to turn an image or video into a hologram is done in a program on a PC or MacBook, which Looking Glass includes for free. Once the images are edited, you can add them to the device via a USB-C cable; the Musubi can store up to 1,000 images. (Videos take up more space, but are limited to 30-second-long clips.) The Musubi can be plugged into a wall socket and has a built-in rechargeable battery that lasts up to three hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Holograms are a mainstay of science fiction, popping up across the great expanses of Star Wars, Star Trek,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":340815,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[4489,220,2273,218,219,308,7809,1328,61,60,266,80],"class_list":["post-340814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-3d","tag-ai","tag-art","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-design","tag-future","tag-home","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-photography","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340814"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/340814\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/340815"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340814"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=340814"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=340814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
