# Experiments

## Liteforms

Liteforms™ is a desktop application for Windows and Mac that lets you talk to AI-powered characters - and even make your own [custom characters](/legacy/legacy-software/liteforms/making-custom-liteforms.md)! It works on any display but for the best experience, we recommend experiencing Liteforms™ on [Looking Glass holographic displays](https://lookingglassfactory.com/product-overview).

## Looking Glass Media Encoder

Media Encoder is our latest experiment with cutting edge web technologies like WebGPU and WebCodecs. This experiment allows you to import [Quilt](/keyconcepts/quilts.md) and [RGBD](/software/looking-glass-studio/rgbd-photo-video.md) images and video, and export that content to a Looking Glass Portrait or Looking Glass Go, all from within a web browser, fully local without any cloud processing. 

You can access the web app below, and read more instructions [here](/software/experiments/media-encoder.md).
