Dopple Works, a startup founded by Etsy co-founder and former CEO Robert Kalin, is working on a new device called Loop in the mixed reality space. The company has submitted an application to the Federal Communications Commission, but many details remain confidential. However, the filing reveals that Loop is battery-powered and will use both WiFi and Bluetooth networks. A patent application describes Loop as a "dedicated hand-held spatial computing device" with a camera, speaker, and tracking sensor to capture environmental details. The device also features a screen for viewing mixed reality content. While the purpose of Loop is unknown, the patent application images spark imagination about its potential uses. The device could potentially be used for a variety of applications, from gaming to education. The secrecy surrounding Loop has sparked curiosity and speculation about its capabilities. Dopple Works has not released any official information about Loop, leaving much to the imagination. As the technology continues to develop, it will be interesting to see how Loop and other mixed reality devices shape the future.
