Engineer Creates Interactive Website Simulating Elizabeth Holmes' Theranos Desk
Key points
- Website simulates Elizabeth Holmes' 2016 desk.
- Includes documents from the Theranos trial.
- Promotes Extend's document processing services.
- Also promotes a watch party for a documentary.
Interactive Theranos Simulation
Extend engineer Bo Lau created a website that simulates the desk environment of Elizabeth Holmes in 2016. The simulation allows users to interact with a virtual iPhone and MacBook Air running OS X El Capitan, reflecting the technology of that period. Users can access documents, emails, and texts made public during the United States v. Elizabeth Holmes trial.
Accessing Trial Documents
The website provides an interactive way to review thousands of documents from the Theranos court case. Users can click through the virtual devices to view these materials, including the ability to 'run' the Theranos Edison machine. This offers an alternative to navigating numerous PDF files from court websites.
Promotional Objectives
The project serves multiple promotional purposes. Lau is using the website to advertise a watch party hosted by Extend for Nathan Fielder's upcoming documentary about Elizabeth Holmes, titled 'You Can See Everything.' Additionally, the simulation promotes Extend's core business, which involves parsing, extracting, and splitting documents.
