WH: Display Woes and ?s

Hello, I've been lurking for awhile while figuring out how to build my 
wearable system.  I am trying to create a system that is as hidden and
unobtrusive as possible, and an worried about my choice of displays.

I have heard much about various displays that offer 320x240 or smaller black
and white text, but I am looking to do some of the exciting stuff talked
about at the MIT wearables sight, such as the "rememberance agent" that does
face recognition, GPS, and other cool features.  However, I don't see how
this is very possible with such limited displays.  In addition, these
displays are very bulky.

My question is this:  Does anyone know of a reasonably priced, unobtrusive
and hidden, high quality (hopefully color) display that gives a decent
picture?  I mean, one with which I can view low quality video?  or maps?  or
icons?  I know of microopticals and the various others, but I really need
one that is actually FOR SALE.  Any suggestions?

Thanks!
