Cool stuff, although wont this cause near sightless?

Focusing images with displays close to the eyes has always been an issue. My advisor, Thad Starner, has been wearing a heads up display that clips onto his glasses for 10+ years. His has the ability to move the image farther or closer so he can set it to appear where his eyes naturally focus.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Would you happen to know what make/model your advisor uses?

I believe it's the Micro Optical SV-6. Although the company site seems to be something else. I believe they are now in the business of making those HUDs for ipods (ala MyVu).
