Pretty sure that's not what is intended. They used to sell supposed x-ray googles to gullible people, the ads implying you'd be able to see people naked.

This is actually technology we already have today. You wouldn't want X-ray goggles, but infrared "goggles" would do the job just fine. Like X-rays, infrared light will pass right through clothes; unlike X-rays, it won't pass through skin.

Hook up an IR camera to a VR headset and you're there.

One day I was messing around with an IR camera for RPi and was surprised to see the magnets inside of my black plastic closed headphones.
