Not that your SARS image wasn't a nice rendering.

Can you and will you give sources for the HUD and the
twiddler keyboard? Off-list is fine.

Have you tried mounting it from an old pair of glasses? A
set of counterweights should keep the frames balanced, and
a strap between the legs and around the back of your head
should keep them on your face. As you add weights, you
might find the frames slipping down your nose. The strap
might help, but visiting an optometrist for advice might
help more.
