From Patrick Gevas on the Google+ DIY Drones community:
I work with Epson and wanted to share a video of Epson's Moverio BT-100 transparent wearable display that allows a user to fly a drone equipped with a camera and see the first person view, while still being aware of their surroundings. First Person View - Aerial videography using Epson Moverio glasses
We'd love to hear your thoughts, and any ideas on different or fun applications. Thanks for your time!
Please email me with your thoughts at pgevas@walt.com(I’m with Epson’s PR agency.)

Adjustable transparency on the fly, that would make it more interesting to me.
usually when I fly FPV I don't want to have to any reference from the surroundings, which can confuse me (except the sound). Imagine you want to fly "nose in" and you see an obstacol (a tree) between you and your model, on both view, one coming, one (same) going..., but in reality is only one object. Confusing for me.
what about having another cheap camera $20, (at the ground), fixed on head, eventually with 180 FOV (more than human eyes :-) ...) and mix the video signal from ground with the video from FPV?
You can also have a video switch ($12) to select which video you want to see (FPV or environmental), or using a video mixer, you can set the signal/contrast for each camera.
Not much information in this video. What does the image in the glasses look like and how are they connecting to the box?
I bought a pair of these when they first came out hoping I could use them for FPV but the only only way to input video to the glasses was from the Android box it comes with. There was no other video input so I sent them back.
Myself I was focus on the warm weather lol need a vacation from this snow :-(
But they aren't the reason he can wear a t-shirt in December.
