| [* 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] What exactly are we looking at? [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field-sequential_color_system|Field-sequential color (FSC)|new_window=true] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_crystal_on_silicon|liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS)|new_window=true] microdisplays project images through [https://uploadvr.com/waveguides-smartglasses/|diffractive waveguides|new_window=true], which reflect those images back into the user's eyes. The lenses layer two sets of waveguides to create two distinct "focus planes." | |

| + | [* icon_note] This approach is similar in principle to Microsoft's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_HoloLens|HoloLens|new_window=true]—with an additional set of stacked waveguides—and closely follows some of Magic Leap's [https://www.kguttag.com/2018/03/01/magic-leap-new-patent-applications/|recent patent applications|new_window=true]. |
| [* 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. |
