I tried, I promise! I couldn't get anything. It really is a very small area of the lens where they show the HUD text.

We did have a special camera setup — it wasn’t just holding up a phone to the glass (that was handy to just show something, but it looked washed out because there was no head to block ambient lights). Those bigger cameras used by the press worked fine too even without a jig.

  Why not simply do what Magic Leap does, and blatantly fake the camera images and games that don't really and couldn't possibly exist? https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838500 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838500 And then rip off other people's work without giving them any credit in your patents. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838443 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838443 And then sexually harass the very women you employed to solve the endemic "pink/blue problem" and fix the nepotistic sexist bro culture, and rebuff and ignore her advice, and pay her off to keep their mouth shut when she sues you for sexual harassment. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838421 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838421 And then give the entire AR industry a bad name by not delivering on your outrageously hyped promises, while burning through BILLIONS of dollars and fucking over your foolishly gullible investors. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838737 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28838737

  Are you any where near Atlanta? If so can I borrow this setup when I do my next review?

    Well I don’t work on that any more but T5 is in California so probably not. You could try it by using a DSLR on a stand (stack of books?) hold up the glasses (by hand or whatever), try draping a black cloth over camera and glasses (no elastic or anything, just the cloth — you’re trying to be realistic). See how it looks, and if it looks realistic.
