No problem, Noel. This looks like the least obtrusive[1] HUD I have ever
seen, (and it happens to be built into prescription lenses):

It almost makes me want to start wearing glasses just to use this!

[1] I mean that is the least obtrusive with respect to others that are
not using the device. It might be awkward to talk to someone if that
person has a large device obscuring much of their eyes and face. You
can see an image of the microoptical HUD in use at:

Very cool indeed. I've been dreaming of getting something like this
and a twiddler since the first day I heard of the iPAQ.
