The fast-moving shift from 2D to 3D media could have a significant impact on the future of retail, communication, and eventually, the home, where the consumption of 3D media could become the norm. In June 2022, Looking Glass introduced the world&#8217;s largest holographic display, the Looking Glass 65&#8243;, which is already being used in Accenture Labs in San Francisco.<br><br>Further, the Looking Glass Blocks sharing platform enables the same content to be shared seamlessly through any internet browser and across a variety of environments: mobile, social and even the metaverse. This marks the first-ever platform for hosting and sharing 3D holograms on the internet, allowing brands to provide their fans with an immersive consumer experience anywhere, on any device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass-65.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass-65-1024x513.jpg\" alt=\"Looking Glass 65\" class=\"wp-image-23493\" width=\"1183\" height=\"593\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass-65-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass-65-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass-65-768x385.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass-65-1536x770.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass-65.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1183px) 100vw, 1183px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Looking Glass 65. \u00a9 Looking Glass.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">\u201cLooking Glass\u2019 3D technology can be deployed in physical environments along with paired metaverse experiences to create deeper, more immersive interactions between brands and their customers,\u201d said David Treat, senior managing director and global lead of Accenture\u2019s Metaverse Continuum business group. \u201cWe believe this technology has the potential to play a valuable role in metaverse content creation and across enterprise applications that bridge the physical and digital worlds, including retail marketing and holographic communications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Bringing the metaverse experience into the offline world, an appealing slice of a trillion dollar opportunity<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Technology like the one developed by Looking Glass offers the opportunity to connect 3D digital experiences in the metaverse to the physical world.<br>And growing consumer and business interest in the metaverse as a creator economy and tool to enhance day-to-day tasks is expected to fuel a $1 trillion revenue opportunity by the end of 2025, according to Accenture findings released in January 2023.<br><br>\u201cAs more companies establish and expand their metaverse presence, they\u2019re looking for ways to bring immersive metaverse experiences to their customers in the physical world, and we believe Looking Glass\u2019 holographic platform can enable them do that,\u201d said Tom Lounibos, Managing Director, Accenture Ventures. \u201cWe look forward to introducing our clients and ecosystem partners to the Looking Glass holographic software and hardware platform and working together to create new content, along with dynamic, customized 3D user experiences and interactions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass_3D-display.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass_3D-display-1024x503.jpg\" alt=\"Looking Glass_3D display\" class=\"wp-image-23495\" width=\"1181\" height=\"580\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass_3D-display-1024x503.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass_3D-display-300x147.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass_3D-display-768x377.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass_3D-display-1536x755.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/eastwind.es\/marketing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/02\/Looking-Glass_3D-display.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1181px) 100vw, 1181px\" \/><\/a><figcaption><span class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\">Looking Glass 3D display. \u00a9 Looking Glass.<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Looking Glass is the latest company to join Accenture Ventures\u2019 Project Spotlight, an engagement and investment program focused on investing in companies that create or apply disruptive enterprise technologies.
