...and double? Your eyes are forming the base of a triangle with the object
in focus being the third point. If you insert a piece of glass between you
and the object for the purpose of projecting an image onto the object,
wouldn't the image have to appear over each line extending from the object
to each eye (obviously blurred due to the focal distance requried)?

I fear I'm being 'blined' by something fairly obvious here...

Is a single lense (assembly - I'm simplifying here) capable of creating this
illusion? or does the image have to be split somehow?
