Thanks for the answers! I think it looks like interesting tech and it could be fun to play around with it, despite the limitations.

But I really think you should reconsider the messaging around the product. I'd imagine most of your potential customers would be tech-savvy enough to ask the questions raised in this thread. Right now your marketing material is making us suspicious; it looks like you have something to hide.

I think you'd be much better off if you were transparent about the technical limitations, so as not to be mistaken for another Cicret Bracelet (https://youtu.be/KbgvSi35n6o). Getting that out of the way would allow you to focus your story on the possibilities, why this tech is cool (because it is!).

Also, judging by your description some of the material on the site is very deceptive, such as the animation with the horse. It appears to be very high resolution, there's no "slicing" even at acute viewing angles, and it has dark objects occluding lighter ones. That's not really OK.

Thanks for the feedback. Knowing precisely what threw you off is super valuable to know, and I will directly tell the team members in charge of marketing about it. I can also tell you for sure that there was no intention to deceive or misrepresent. In fact, anyone at all who is in the NYC area is welcome to see and judge Volume for themselves at our Brooklyn lab. We have a 'library' set up exactly for that purpose - to let the public come see and play with it! :)

However, I also definitely see what you are saying (and I will push for the horse in particular to be changed or updated). If there are any other things that threw you off, please do post in reply.

For anyone interested to drop by the lab and see Volume for themselves feel free to email: future@lookingglassfactory.com (the lab is at the North tip of Greenpoint Brooklyn, across the bridge from the Vernon-Jackson stop on the 7 train)
