| - | [* black] It takes careful work to detach the flex cables from the constant-force-spring-loaded headband without damage, but eventually it comes free. |

| - | [* 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] From here, we have a better view of the eye-tracking IR blasters. We note they're all wired in series, rather than individually controlled. |
| + | [* black] After detaching the headband and inner faceplate, we have a better view of the eye-tracking IR emitters. We note they're all wired in series, rather than individually controlled. |
| [* black] And finally, at our fingertips, the heart of the Magic Leap: [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]. |
