# 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](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/experiments/liteforms/making-custom-liteforms)! It works on any display but for the best experience, we recommend experiencing Liteforms™ on [Looking Glass holographic displays](https://lookingglassfactory.com/product-overview).
