It's the same principle as those plastic toys with printed 3D images that you've surely seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jIfAi_zJ2F4



Yeah, just like that.

Except that there's 45 distinct planes and it directly interfaces with Unity, Unreal and ThreeJS in minutes.

Sorry if I'm reading too deeply into your note. There are just so many haters. Meanwhile, I backed these guys on Kickstarter, have had a unit on my desk for 18 months and think it's one of the most incredible things I've ever had to experiment with... and it cost me under $500.


I agree his comment is somewhat diminishing for the product but he is not wrong saying it's the same principle.


I think we can safely agree that the video they linked to was a solid tip-off that snark was dialed to 11.


They probably don't know how difficult it is to generate good lenticular printing data.

I'm the author of a lenticular vray plugin and people love the technology for product design previews. Plus the fact that it's being mass-produced as children's toys makes it very affordable.


Can you explain it more? Or is there something I can read up on? It seems like quite a breakthrough.


Can you be a bit more specific?

Are you asking for more information on https://lookingglassfactory.com/ or https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=lenticular ?


It's a bit sad that their active resolution is so low, with 2560x1600 being divided into 9x5 quilt frames. So that would mean 320x280 or so effective resolution for the 8.9" display
