Low tech solution to this would be to just darken the background. A lot of people use this in their semi-transparent terminals and it seems to work for them (addmitedly not ideal).
I'd be more worried about the front imagery obscuring what's in the background, in case people start putting this on car windshields or sunglasses (i'm speculating but hey, we're talking about future anyways).
- pyre 17y agoThe problem being that sometimes even semi-transparent terminal windows can be obscured if the background interferes with the text colors and/or terminal background. This might not be a problem if you put an outline around the characters though (i.e. like most subtitle renderers on media players do -- white text with a black outline so that you can still read the subtitle even when the actual video background is white/really bright).
