Yup, what he said (it sounds good :-)

I have vague inklings that a high contrast display will be easier to 
bring
in and out of focus - but that's purely me - I don't have any evidence
to back it up :-)

(My main problem with grey-scale and colour displays is the risk of
just putting a bog-standard Windows / X-Windows user-interface into
a wearable computer - I know that that's something I don't want.)

As an aside - if you use optics to make the image appear to be at
infinity will that make it easier for the eye to adjust to - you just 
let
your eyes relax?  (My memory of optics from Physics at school are
a little hazy).
