Here's what you want:

What about a retinal projector instead? This loses the social sharing 
aspect of a wearable projection system, yes, but it's also somewhat 
like the goggles without the bulky eyeware.

Portable wearable projection systems are already beginning, I saw one 
from Lifehacker linking over to instructables the other day:

Strap on some large batteries and you're good to go ... and you'll look 
like you're stuck in the 70s, but whatever. :) It's a start.

I need to get back in touch with the "wearables" community:

And finally, a page that I still need to go through completely:
