You could use them to replace everything with messages like in They Live https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yjw_DuNkOUw

No in They Live the messages were already there but they were conditioned not to notice them consciously without the glasses.

Ideally, one would use something like this on an AR headset/smart glasses and block unwanted stuff from their view
