| - | [* black] Now things get a bit destructive, but it's worth it to get a peek at the optic chain |
|---|---|
| - | [* 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. |
| - | [* black] We pick up the "injection" unit for a closer look. The lenses within focus the projected light, directing it into entrance gratings for each waveguide. |
| - | [* black] A even ''closer'' look reveals two red, two green, and two blue entrance gratings all on different layers. |
