| [* black] It takes some careful work to detach the flex cables from the spring-loaded headband without damage, but eventually it comes free. The constant-force spring for fitment is located in the center plastic segment at the back. | |
| [* black] Lots of screws hold the faceplate together, but it's pretty straightforward to disassemble, and the view is starting to get very interesting. | |
| [* black] The design closely follow some of Magic Leaps recent patent applications, particularly US20180052277. There are many figures that detail the inner workings with some key figures of that application explained in a [https://www.kguttag.com/2018/03/01/magic-leap-new-patent-applications/|March 1, 2018 article on the KGOnTech Blog]. | |
| [* black] The underlying structure of Magic Leaps optics is very similar to Microsoft's Hololens except there are double the number of layers of waveguides to enable two different "focus planes." | |
| + | [* black] Both Magic Leap and Hololens use Field Sequential Color LCOS microdisplays and a similar diffractive waveguide structure with an entrance grating, expansion grating, and exit grating. The exit grating is the rectangular part you look through to see the image. |
| [* black] We also get a better look at the cameras and IR blasters that normally just peek out of the front of the headset. We can see that all the IR blasters are wired together in series rather than individually controlled. |
