Looking Glass Core SDK

A cross-platform SDK that makes your existing 3D software compatible with the Looking Glass.

The Looking Glass Core SDK is a cross-platform software development kit that makes your existing 3D software compatible with the Looking Glass. Use your application’s current UI and workflow to build seamless plug and play experiences for your end users.

Developers can use any rendering backend (DirectX, OpenGL, Metal, Vulkan, WebGL) and any windowing library (e.g. GLFW, Qt, SDL). Beyond that, in order to render to the Looking Glass display, your application must be able to:

  • Generate a borderless fullscreen window at a specific position
  • Distort the camera's projection matrix
  • Render multiple views to a texture
  • Apply a shader to the texture

Also, your end user must have Looking Glass Bridge installed on their machine.
