I really shouldn't be the one to doubt, considering the size we've seen computers go from and to. But is it even possible to fit all that in that size? Like as I understand optics limits a lot about how far the screen has to be, even with the use of lenses. And it wouldn't be fully passthrough if they use the Google glass like approach as I understand?



Well it's at least probably not impossible? I think they can avoid using a screen at all by instead using multiple low-power lasers embedded in the goggle frames to directly image on the wearer's retinas. Then the main lenses only have to act as selective shutters to block out parts of the real world. But as of today this concept is mostly science fiction; several major breakthroughs would be needed.
