Just a simple update. I hope to be ordering my initial hardware this weekend and am also looking into some alternatives to a prism. I've seen some work done with a sheet of transparent material for the actual display to eye but have been avoiding this as these setups usually look a bit clunky to me and more that that I'm worried about the visibility of the text when in strong sunlight. This has led me to a couple of articles on semi transparent mirrors. Any advice in material choice will be appreciated. I will link what I've been looking at.

Also I wanted an opinion on wether or not its worth getting something like the amazon link or if its fine to use some normal cut acrylic maybe with a film on it?
