Pretend you’re sitting at Elizabeth Holmes’ desk on this weirdly detailed website
Extend engineer Bo Lau created a website that simulates sitting at Elizabeth Holmes' desk, as announced in an October 8, 2026 post on X. The interactive environment draws on more than a thousand emails, slides, texts, and documents that were made public during the United States v. Elizabeth Holmes criminal trial.
Visitors can click through the virtual workspace to open a MacBook, scroll an iPhone, and even operate the Theranos Edison machine. The setting is rendered in period-accurate detail: the iPhone features a home button with swipe-to-unlock, and the MacBook Air runs OS X El Capitan, placing the experience in 2016. All displayed texts, emails, slides, documents, and Theranos machine records come from actual exhibits in the criminal trial. The Edison was Theranos' device intended to extract large amounts of health data from a single drop of blood.
Beyond the desk simulation, Lau is promoting a watch party her company is hosting for Nathan Fielder's upcoming documentary about Holmes, titled You Can See Everything. She is also promoting Extend, which describes its service as able to parse, extract, and split difficult documents with unmatched accuracy.
Why it matters: For anyone interested in the trial records, the site offers a more navigable way to browse the public exhibits than pulling thousands of PDFs from court websites.
