This is one of the major elephants-in-the-room for Augmented Reality systems, and has yet to be solved properly, at least definitively (look up Magic Leap).

Unless we get AR glasses which can project variable-focus images directly onto our retinas, I take all this stuff with a huge pinch of salt...
The BMW HUD helmet is pretty close.
