[* black] Dark outer lenses hide the wearer's eyes. 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.
-[* black] Peeking into the eyepiece, we find the stacked [https://uploadvr.com/waveguides-smartglasses/|waveguide|new_window=true] panel (aka the photonic lightfield chip)—which is striated and glued to the lens, four LEDs—infrared blasters for eye tracking—and their traces, plus several layers of lens to hold it all together.
-[* icon_note] Moving in for a closer look at the photonics chip, we notice individual layers of glue and a very small air gap between each of the six waveguides (one each for red, green, and blue, in two focus planes).
- [* black] For such a highly stylized piece of hardware design, the lamination in the lens looks a little less polished than might be expected—not that you'd ever notice during use.
- [* black] The edges of these optical elements look to be hand-painted black, likely to minimize internal reflections and interference.
+[* black] From the inside, those four eye-tracking IR LEDs are quite prominent, placed near the edges of the striated rectangular "display" portion of the [https://uploadvr.com/waveguides-smartglasses/|waveguide|new_window=true].
+[* icon_note] Moving in for a closer look at the waveguide, we can make out six individual layers, with a small air gap between each, laminated together with glue around the edges.
