With over a thousand emails, slides, texts, and documents unveiled during the United States v. Elizabeth Holmes trial, Bo Lau, an engineer at Extend, has created a website that simulates what it might have been like to be the chief executive of Theranos before everything came crashing down.
“"Every day, I am grateful to the American legal system for making the discovery process public."
A Detailed Simulation
The environment Lau created is ambitiously detailed, taking users back to 2016, a time when iPhones had home buttons and required a finger slide to unlock. The MacBook Air featured in the simulation runs OS X El Capitan. Users can click around the environment to view documents made public from the court case on Holmes’ iPhone and laptop screens. They can even run the Theranos Edison machine, the company’s ill-fated device designed to extract large amounts of health data from a single drop of blood.
