Weird Website Lets You 'Sit' at Elizabeth's Holmes's Desk at Theranos, Read Her Emails

A strange new website has appeared, coinciding with the release of the Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything, that lets you interact with a simulation of what Holmes's desk at Theranos might have looked like back in 2016.

Engineer Bo Lau created the website, dubbed Theranos World, which features an interactive interface where you can click around Elizabeth Holmes's laptop and iPhone, read her emails and texts — the contents of which all come from actual emails and texts that were submitted as evidence in her and Sunny Balwani's fraud trials.

In one somewhat out-of-context text about changing his travel plans from Bombay, Balwani writes, "This doesn't serve the soul of the universe."

You can also interact with the Edison blood-testing device, loading a cartridge and running a metabolic panel, but the results come back with the small disclaimer at the bottom "not for medical use."

As TechCrunch notes, "The environment that Lau created is ambitiously detailed, taking you right back to 2016, a time when iPhones had home buttons, and you had to slide your finger across the screen to unlock it."

And, "Even the MacBook Air is running OS X El Capitan."

This little site isn't just for fun and games, though. Per TechCrunch, it appears to be part of an effort to promote a watch party for You Can See Everything that is being hosted by Lau's company, Extend. And, by extension, ahem, it's helping market the company itself, which makes some sort of B2B document-parsing software.

You Can See Everything, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, has played at several film festivals to great acclaim, and opens in theaters on October 15.
