The reflected image from the M1 would be inverted (mirrored, obviously). You
would need to invert the image from the M1 first. That's probably more trouble
than it's worth.

The image directly from an LCD would be too small to read (for most
people), even at 320x240. You may want to wait for the Olympus Eye-Trek to come
out, which should be soon. A lot of people are waiting for it. It's what the
new IBM unit will use. TekGear (http://www.tekgear.ca/) will be reselling it as
their M2 to end users.
