-[* black] Now things get a bit destructive, but it's worth it to get a peek at the optics.
- [* red] At the far right of the first image, we have a tiny ring of six LEDs—red, green and blue, times two for two focus planes. Let there be light!
- [* orange] Next to that, we have the LCOS microdisplay.
- [* yellow] The next item over is just a black chunk of the housing plastic—but next to that, we have the polarizing beam splitter mounted on top of the collimating lens for the LED light.
- [* green] Next-to-last is the "injection optics" unit for focusing the image into the waveguide.
- [* light_blue] And at the far left, you can see the (slightly broken) waveguide—and if you enlarge it, you can even see the six embedded entrance diffraction gratings, one per waveguide layer.
-[* black] We pick up the injection optics unit for a closer look. The lenses within focus the projected light, directing it into six individual entrance gratings for corresponding waveguides.
- [* icon_note] Looking really closely reveals the colors associated with each entrance grating: two red, two green, and two blue.

+ [* red] A tiny ring of six LEDs start the process—red, green and blue, times two for two focus planes.
+ [* orange] The LEDs then shine on the LCOS microdisplay to pick up the imagery. It's mounted to the black plastic housing next door.
+ [* yellow] The beams of light then pass through the polarizing beam splitter mounted on top of the collimating lens.
+ [* green] The polarized beams then pass through a series of filters to focus and inject the image into the waveguides.
+ [* light_blue] The headset holds most of the of six (slightly shattered) waveguides.
