NO!

No. No. No.

NO!

I definitely see a runway and terrain and horizon and traffic depections on a big display, or a window projection HUD…

BUT

WHY THE PHUGOID put goggles on the pilot that could fly off, come unplugged, lose Bluetooth, or any number of other malfunctions.

Absolutely, give me one to do Flight sim, although, I guess you might still need to work buttons with the mouse.

Did I say no?

Answer G- Makes poor sense.

The only possible reason a headset would be preferable to a HUD is that it's cheaper to get and install. Given what these things cost, and how much more Officially Certificated IFR Paperworked ones will be, that doesn't seem like a winner.

also everyone seems to forget that this technology became available in the mid-90s and has thoroughly, solidly failed to go anywhere.
