Looking Glass HLD Displays utilize a fixed holographic volume combined with high resolution display panels to create mind-blowing 3D effects. In this guide we'll walk you through how to create content for this new category of display — both video content and real-time applications. {% hint style="info" %} ## Getting Started Set up your [**musubi**](/getting-started/musubi-setup-guide.md) and load your first holographic memories with the musubi app. Set up your [**HLD 86"**](/getting-started/hld-86-setup-guide.md) with our step-by-step setup guide. For other HLD models, follow our [**general onboarding guide**](https://lookingglassfactory.com/hld-setup). Read more about our full display lineup on our [**website**](https://lookingglassfactory.com/hld-overview). {% endhint %}
## Creative guidelines Any video tool can be used to create content — from digital content creation (DCC) apps like Blender and C4D to generative AI tools like Kling and Veo. Real-time applications are also supported. Simply run the application on a computer that can connect to the HLD via HDMI, and ensure your content is created following our guidelines. See our creative guidelines for instructions on how to frame [people/characters](/creative-guidelines/characters.md) and [products](/creative-guidelines/products.md) in the HLD and recreate this setup in your tool of choice. For step-by-step tutorials for tools like Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Blender, see our [Content Guides](#content-guides) below.

## Creating, reviewing, and preparing content Once you have a video, still image, or supported 3D asset, open it in the browser-based [**HLD Author**](/apps-and-tools/hld-author.md). HLD Author lets you: * Adjust framing, rotation, chroma key, shadows, lighting, and media-specific effects * Create animated or depth-treated output from still images and render supported 3D media * Preview your content on a simulated Hololuminescent Display * Export the correct MP4 for the included [HLD Demo Media Player](/managing-content/using-the-demo-media-player.md), BrightSign, or standard portrait-video playback This is the easiest way to create or refine HLD-ready content and confirm framing, depth, and orientation before deployment.
## Deploying content If your content has been generated and reviewed in [HLD Author](/apps-and-tools/hld-author.md), and you now want to set up playback on hardware, see these guides: * Use the [Demo Media Player](/managing-content/using-the-demo-media-player.md) for simple, bundled playback * Convert the included Demo Media Player into a full digital signage solution with [Yodeck](/managing-content/yodeck-digital-signage-player.md) * Use [BrightSign](/managing-content/brightsign-digital-signage-player.md) for long-term digital signage installations
