instead of goggles, the helmet has external cameras linked to an interior feed

Ironically enough, all the work done by Meta and Valve on VR headset lense technology is what has pushed feasibility on that forward. It's difficult creating a set of lenses that fit within the 1 inch zone between eyes and screens to bring them into focus, while also having it be universal for all face/eye types. Gonna laugh my ass off if Meta or Valves patents on that tech results in one of them becoming military hardware vendors.
