GoKawiilEngineer builds interactive replica of Elizabeth Holmes' desk using trial exhibits
Extend engineer Bo Lau created a website that recreates Elizabeth Holmes' 2016 desk setup, letting users browse a simulated iPhone and MacBook loaded with real emails, texts, slides and documents from the United States v. Holmes trial. The site also lets visitors operate a virtual version of the Theranos Edison blood-testing device.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The project offers a more accessible way to explore thousands of court exhibits than searching through PDFs on government websites, potentially broadening public engagement with the Theranos case. It also appears to serve as marketing for Lau's company Extend, which specializes in document processing, and for a watch party promoting Nathan Fielder's upcoming Holmes documentary.

- Users can interact with a simulated Theranos Edison blood-testing machine.
- The project doubles as promotion for Extend's document-processing software and a Nathan Fielder documentary watch party.
