| [* black] From the front, these lenses are mirrored enough to hide the wearer's eyes, but from the back they're clear—well, clear-ish. | |
| [* icon_caution] [We need to test whether these are polarizing.] | |
| - | [* icon_caution] KG - It would also be good to get some kind of light meter and see the percentage of light they block |
| + | [* icon_caution] KG - It would also be good to get some kind of light meter and see the percentage of light they block both through the outer cover AND through the outer cover plus the wavegide |
| [* black] With a closer look we find the stacked waveguide panel (A.K.A. the photonic lightfield chip), which is striated and glued to the lens, four LEDs—IR blasters for eye tracking—and their traces, plus several layers of lens to hold it all together. | |
| [* black] For such a highly designed piece of hardware (both chargers are spheroid blobs that vaguely match the alien shape of the Light Pack), the lamination in the lens is a little less polished than might be expected—not that it's noticeable during use. | |
| + | [* black] If you look carefully at the more edge-on view, you can see individual layers of glue between each of the 6 waveguides (R,G,B times two focus planes). There is a very small air gap between each waveguide which is why you can see the layers of glue. |
