## 4. Download software (for Mac and PC only)

In order to use your displays with a Mac or PC, you will need to download Looking Glass software to run 3D content. You need to:&#x20;

{% hint style="danger" %}
OLED Image Retention or Burn-In: \
\
Burn-in and image retention are possible on virtually any display.  \
\
Most cases of burn-in in OLED displays are a result of static images or on-screen elements displaying on the screen uninterrupted for many hours or days at a time – with brightness typically at peak levels. \
\
To mitigate this, we would recommend not to have your Looking Glass 16" display connected to your computer if you are not showing any moving content for hours at a time.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

* Download Looking Glass Model Viewer [here](/software/looking-glass-model-viewer.md) to easily load your own 3D models onto the display.
* Download the latest Looking Glass Unity plug-in [here](https://lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-unity-plugin) to create your own interactive applications.
* Access our native SDK [here](/software/looking-glass-bridge-sdk.md) to integrate your custom OpenGL, DX, or Metal renderer.
