1. A system, comprising:
a headset, comprising:
a lens with a plurality of layers of a holographic medium on at least one surface of or embedded in the lens;
a scene camera located on a side of the headset and facing an inside surface of the lens; and
a band-pass filter located at or in front of the scene camera,
wherein at least one of the layers of the holographic medium is recorded with transmission holograms that diffract a portion of wavelengths of direct light from a scene to a user's eye to the scene camera so that the scene camera views the scene from substantially a same perspective as the user's eye views the scene through the lens, and
wherein the band-pass filter is tuned to wavelengths of light same as the transmission holograms to block wavelengths of light from reaching the scene camera except for the portion of wavelengths of light diffracted by the transmission holograms.
