Pass-through augmented reality (AR) without actually being able to see the world directly could cause problems, such as the AR showing an open field (due to a software glitch or showing the wrong app or a malicious hack) in front of you while in reality there's a real life cliff in front of you, just as an example. It's a cool idea, just make sure you're in a safe environment while using it. Maybe briefly remove the goggles now and then to verify.
Pass-through AR could show everything with an infinite depth of view allowing you to rest your eye focus muscles and still see things near and far equally as well, 'in focus'. Alternately have an artificial depth of view you can control and you can also rest your eye focus muscles. One can already rest one's eye rotate muscles simply by moving their heads. Many birds can't rotate their eyes relative to their skulls which explains why they constantly turn their heads (for fovea clarity and perhaps also for triangulation.)
Another cool idea with Pass-through AR is to see yourself in a virtual mirror. Not your real self however, but as some Avatar! So at least to yourself you're walking around the real world as someone completely different.
Yet another cool idea is the Geordi LaForge effect, see wavelengths you normally can't see with your real eyes, it translates ultraviolet down to say regular violet allowing you to see these frequencies. Perhaps some UV rays are reflected into the house through a window. Same with infrared to regular red, see if the stove-top is hot without sacrificing your finger!
