| [* 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. | |

| + | [* black] There was some ''spec''-ulation that Magic Leap used polarizing lenses paired with a selective focus element, but a quick test rules that theory out—these aren't polarizing. |
| [* icon_caution] [KG - It would also be good to grab a light meter and test the percentage of light they block both through the outer cover AND through the outer cover plus the waveguide] | |
| [* black] Peeking into the eyepiece, 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. | |
| [* icon_note] For such a highly stylized piece of hardware design (both chargers are spheroid blobs that vaguely match the alien shape of the Light Pack), the lamination in the lens looks a little less polished than might be expected—not that you'd ever notice during use. | |
| [* black] Moving in for a closer look at the photonics chip, we notice individual layers of glue between each of the six wave guides (one each for red, green, and blue, in two focus planes). A very small air gap between each layer makes the glue more apparent. |
