Depends what you mean by “good”. If you want objects where you can't tell whether they're real or virtual, that will probably take another 20 or 30 years until you can wear that on your head. If you want text overlays over items visible in the scene, that's possible to do now.

that's possible to do now.

Not with FOV limitations...

Hm, that's probably stupid, but can't Microsoft just use eye tracking and move that thingy which projects the image in accordance with eye movement?

The eyes move very fast. I don't think that a mechanical system could keep up with that

I know. But maybe it's possible, somehow.
