  5.  @johnjay6370  I'm not surprised, we're nowhere near the point where that's solved. You're trying to get the brain to think that things are the distance they appear, but your eyes are focused on a point that's much closer. Unless some new technology comes along that changes it, you're likely to always have the issue of the eyeballs being focused at a different distance than where they're pointed. It's been a problem for decades and may be an issue for decades more. I'd wager that you'd need something along the lines of contact based imaging to have any hope of it working.
