and specifically

Since the company is based off of the now defunct MicroOptical Corp, I
believe it is not unreasonable to assume that this display is a
repackaged dual display version of
http://www.tekgear.com/index.cfm?pageID=90&prodid=395&section=84&nodelist=1,83,84&function=viewproducts
But centered around a composite video input rather than VGA.

Assuming this, it appears the image of the display is projected from
the side of the glasses, onto a mirror located in front of the eye. If
this is truly the case, then by removing the backing (assuming the
mirror housing encases the back) of the optics housing, and replacing
the mirror with a half silvered mirror you should be able to "see
through" the display. The problem you may encounter with this is that
the display's backlight may not be bright enough to compensate for the
environment you intend to use it in. You might be able to stick a more
powerful backlight in there with a greater range of brightnesses
(assuming your own control circuit for the higher current drawing
backlight).

Thoughts?
