Bo Lau Builds 1,000-Document Elizabeth Holmes Desk Simulator to Promote 2026 Watch Party

Summary
Bo Lau, an engineer at Extend, launched a website that recreates Elizabeth Holmes’ 2016 Theranos workspace and lets users browse more than 1,000 trial emails, texts, slides and other court documents.
The simulator mirrors Holmes’ iPhone, MacBook Air and the Theranos Edison machine, turning public discovery files from United States v. Elizabeth Holmes into a more navigable, interactive archive than court-hosted PDFs.
Lau also tied the project to Extend’s marketing, using it to promote a watch party for Nathan Fielder’s upcoming Holmes documentary, “You Can See Everything,” and to showcase the company’s document-parsing tools.
The project reframes one of tech’s most notorious fraud cases as both a historical interface experiment and a demonstration of how legal records can be repackaged for public consumption.
