Hands-On: Looking Glass Portrait Holographic Display
We go hands-on with a prototype of the Looking Glass Portrait, a self-contained holographic display that can show volumetric photos, video, and cg models without the use of 3D glasses. It's the latest invention from Looking Glass Factory, and we chat with the company's co-founder Shawn Frayne about how the display technology works and the process of turning portrait-mode photos into 3D images like what we've seen in science fiction films. Thanks to Looking Glass for loaning us this unit to test!

PROJECTIONS: Star Wars: Squadrons VR Review!
It's finally here! We review Star Wars: Squadrons and how it plays in VR headsets like the Valve Index and Quest 2. Here's how dogfighting in X-Wings and TIE Fighters looks and plays in virtual reality, and the differences between flying with a gamepad, keyboard and mouse, and a flight stick (HOTAS). Squadrons' virtual reality support exceeds our expectations and is an essential game if you're a Star Wars fan and have a VR headset!
