1. A mixed reality display comprising:
at least one lens subsystem comprising:
a transparent layer with a first surface and an opposed second surface;
a reflective coating applied to the first surface of the transparent layer; and
an alpha matte layer abutting the second surface of the transparent layer, the alpha matte layer comprising a cholesteric liquid crystal layer comprising a plurality of pixels of cholesteric liquid crystal, where each pixel is capable of independently becoming opaque or transparent;
at least one display capable of projecting one or more images onto at least a portion of the reflective coating of the lens subsystem; and
a dynamic opacity system, where the dynamic opacity system is capable of making at least one pixel opaque in the portion of the alpha matte layer aligning with the portion of the reflective coating onto which the one or more images are projected, while the pixels aligning with any portion of the reflective coating onto which no image is projected remains transparent.
