:"and overlay the image accordingly". What does that mean?

Overlay the image acordinly would mean that obects / images apear on
your (prefrebly transparent) HUD visor / goggles in the same place they
would if you were viewing them with your own eyes. That way, you can
easily correlate it with info from normal vision, or at least don't have
trouble making the switch.

The "tranbsparent faceplate" and thing, combined with some coments
about IR, raises a question- If you had IR vison (cyber or "natural"),
would wearing a helmet, miror shades, or other eye covering block its use?
IR transmissive materials are (currently) more expensive- would they make
IR transmisive headware in 205x?
