but no matter what you are going to need to make serious serious compromises on what your vision is

#

like at the scale of glasses you're getting into some weird territory and you're going to be limited by the actual circuitry, especially if you're trying to go wireless

Check out what @lean solstice has done maybe you can adapt it?

Keep in mind that the problem with normal looking glasses is the focus distance. The reason we're not running around with displays in normal glasses is that you can't focus on normal displays 1 inch in front of your eyes. Be sure to do some research on cutting edge AR/VR display technology. They're having to do a lot of tricks to get down the usual 2 inches or so with an extra lens for focus.

I'm always learning and figuring this stuff out. We all have parts we contribute and parts we obsorb from others.

#

You need to move the displays away AND add a focusing lens, like you find in VR goggles.

Zack Freedman is on his third or fourth iteration of a DIY Google Glass of sorts and like,
he's a very smart dude and it still looks clunky

If you want functional Edith glasses, no you don't.
If you just want them to look cool, there's some goofy things you could do with just like, some careful etching and edge lighting

My wearable heads-up display, the Optigon, is coming apart at the seams, but I found the perfect upgrade, the Epson Moverio BT-40. Problem: It shuts off when I disconnect a display, but this 'borg is all...

Yeah, Zack's work using mirrors and a lens of a commercial product, which is how he gets it near his eye but these are far from full field of vision.
