Light Field Interactive Desktop LumiDesk: Operate Holographic Interfaces Directly in the Air

Looking Glass Factory's LumiDesk uses dense laser arrays to generate touchable holographic images in a 20cm space above the desktop, with hand gesture tracking for bare-hand interaction, priced at $7,500.

Looking Glass Factory released LumiDesk on January 15, 2029, a light field interactive desktop. The device surface embeds over 600,000 micro-laser emitters that precisely control beam phase and intensity to generate volumetric holographic images in the 0-20cm space above the desktop.

Unlike previous holographic display solutions, LumiDesk's generated images can be "touched" to some extent — the system uses ultrasonic focusing to produce haptic feedback forces at the user's finger positions. Combined with built-in hand tracking cameras, users can rotate, scale, and drag holographic objects with bare hands.

Initial application scenarios focus on architecture and industrial design. Architects can directly manipulate holographic projections of building models above the desktop, examining internal structural details. Autodesk has announced Revit will natively support LumiDesk in Q2 2029.

Looking Glass Factory states LumiDesk's display resolution is 1,200 light points per inch, with color coverage of 98% of the sRGB color gamut. The device consumes approximately 280W and requires external power. Priced at $7,500, it targets professional users and enterprise markets.
