They're both possible and we'll have more videos very soon to show this. Filming through the glasses is really hard, we've been working on a rig the last few days and will have videos up soon.

Really? To occlude real objects, the glasses would need to have per-pixel adjustable transparency. They look like Epson Moverio glasses[1], and I don't see anything on Epson's site to suggest that they can selectively occlude light, but I'd be delighted to be wrong.

No, it does not support selective occlusion. Much like Google Glass it's a microprojector against your face, albeit this is two-eyed whereas Google's has one.
