  • Lifting up one of the external sensor arrays, we find beneath: the optical system for injecting images into the waveguides.

  • These bright colors come from ambient light reflecting off the diffraction gratings, and don't represent specific color channels.

  • Each spot lives at a different depth—corresponding to a single layer of the waveguide.

  • At the back, we find the actual display device: an OmniVision OP02222 field-sequential color (FSC) LCOS device. It is likely a customized variation of the OmniVision OP02220.

  • The KGOnTech blog correctly guessed this was exactly what Magic Leap was doing, based on patent filings back in 2016.
