# Looking Glass Studio {% hint style="info" %} On Windows and MacOS, Looking Glass Studio requires [***Looking Glass Bridge***](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-bridge). {% endhint %} Looking Glass Studio is the offline playlist management application for your Looking Glass display. With it, you can import holograms from a variety of sources, make minor edits to any hologram you create, and sync to your Looking Glass Portrait for Standalone Mode. {% embed url="" fullWidth="false" %} To get started with Looking Glass Studio head to our [*Using Looking Glass Studio*](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/using-looking-glass-studio) page, this will get you set up with your first holograms and explain the UI of Looking Glass Studio. {% content-ref url="looking-glass-studio/using-looking-glass-studio" %} [using-looking-glass-studio](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/using-looking-glass-studio) {% endcontent-ref %} Looking Glass Studio can import a variety of photos and videos from different sources, to learn more about the file types supported by Looking Glass Studio, check out the following pages: {% content-ref url="looking-glass-studio/rgbd-photo-video" %} [rgbd-photo-video](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/rgbd-photo-video) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="looking-glass-studio/quilt-photo-video" %} [quilt-photo-video](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/quilt-photo-video) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="looking-glass-studio/iphone-portrait" %} [iphone-portrait](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/iphone-portrait) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="looking-glass-studio/light-field-photosets" %} [light-field-photosets](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/light-field-photosets) {% endcontent-ref %} {% content-ref url="looking-glass-studio/android-depth-photos" %} [android-depth-photos](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/android-depth-photos) {% endcontent-ref %} ## Requirements ### Computer Requirements Your computer must run Windows 10 or macOS 13 or newer and have USB-C and HDMI ports. Port requirements vary based on the Looking Glass system you're using. {% hint style="warning" %} Looking Glass Studio 1.7.0 Supports Windows and MacOS (Apple Silicon). MacOS 15.0 is required. For Intel Mac Support or MacOS 13 and 14 Please use version [1.6.0](#previous-versions) {% endhint %} We recommend running Looking Glass Studio on computers with a dedicated graphics card. Computers that only have integrated graphics will provide a lower quality experience. #### Graphics Performance {% hint style="success" %} For the best performance, we recommend using a computer with a graphics card equivalent to a GTX 1650 or higher. {% endhint %} If your computer has two graphics cards, Looking Glass Studio will always attempt to use the higher performance card, but this sometimes fails. If you are using a Windows computer and are seeing performance issues, you can manually force this using these steps: * Press the Windows Key and type "Graphics Settings" * In Graphics Settings, under "Desktop app" select "Browse" and browse to your installation of Looking Glass Studio, by default it is located here: `C:\User\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Looking Glass Studio` - where `[USERNAME]` is your username. * In "Options", select "High Performance" ### Required Software For Looking Glass Studio to run, you must have [Looking Glass Bridge](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-bridge) installed. Once downloaded and installed, ensure your Looking Glass Portrait is connected and in Desktop Mode before opening and using Looking Glass Studio. ## Previous Versions If you would like to be prompted to update automatically, please select `Menu > File > Preference`s and check "Automatically check for updates" * 0.3.1-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.1-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.1-beta.dmg) * 0.3.2-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.2-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.2-beta.dmg) * 0.3.4-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.4-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.4-beta.dmg) * 0.3.5-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.5-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.5-beta.dmg) * 0.3.6-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.6-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.6-beta.dmg) * 0.3.7-beta: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-0.3.7-beta.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.0.3.7-beta.dmg) * 1.0.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.0.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.0.dmg) * 1.0.1: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.1.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.1.dmg) * 1.0.2: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.2.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.2.dmg) * 1.0.3: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.3.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.3.dmg) * 1.0.4: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.4.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.4.dmg) * 1.0.5: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.0.5.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.0.5.dmg) * 1.1.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.1.0.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.1.0.dmg) * 1.1.1: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.1.1.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.1.1.dmg) * 1.2.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.2.0.Setup.exe), [macOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.2.0.dmg) * 1.3.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio-1.3.0.Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/HoloPlayStudio.1.3.0.dmg) * 1.5.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.0.Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.0.dmg) * 1.5.1: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.1-Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.5.1.dmg) * 1.6.0: [Windows](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.6.0-Setup.exe), [MacOS](https://dhtk4bwj5r21z.cloudfront.net/HoloPlayStudio/PublicLinks/LookingGlassStudio-1.6.0.dmg) If you're having issues with Looking Glass Studio you can check out our [**troubleshooting page**](https://lfdocs.lookingglassfactory.com/software/looking-glass-studio/troubleshooting)**.** If those resources don't help solve your issue, email us at `developer@lookingglassfactory.com` --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
