Just to state the obvious: If we're going with concepts, then the most
portable and effective design would be a direct brain interface. In the
more near future, a fashionable HUD could be achieved with a
miniaturised virtual retinal display:

I'm thinking a package behind the ear with laser diodes, a MEMS merror
and some fibre optics. The lense of the glasses could incorporate a
prism to direct the beams at the eye.

For some years yet, you'll need an cable going into your jacket for
power/data.
