Hmm...something like this perhaps?

Still a bit bulky and expensive, but not impossible.  These apparently
use a lens of some sort to allow the eye to focus at 5' while wearing
them.  I had the chance to play with a pair of these 10 years ago.  At
that time, the resolution sucked and they were about 1.5" thick.  They
had built-in motion tracking.  Playing Descent with those things was a
blast!  :)
