# Looking Glass
|
|
|
|
Looking Glass lets you use a Windows virtual machine from Linux with very low
|
|
display and input latency. The current recommended setup uses the Looking Glass
|
|
Indirect Display Driver (IDD) in the Windows guest and the Looking Glass Client
|
|
on the Linux host.

## Start here
|
|
|
|
The Linux client is currently distributed as source code and must be built
|
|
before it can be installed. The end-user guide covers the complete process:
|
|
|
|
1. Build the Linux client.
|
|
2. Configure shared memory for the virtual machine.
|
|
3. Install the Looking Glass IDD in Windows.
|
|
4. Install and run the client.
|
|
|
|
See the [Looking Glass documentation](https://looking-glass.io/docs) for the
|
|
current requirements and setup guide.
