  If you follow through with that one, pictures are definitely in order

  If you try searching for “smartphone augmented reality headset” on AliExpress you might still be able to find the thing I was using. It’s been a few years since I did this. For its stated purpose the product is a rip-off since it’s just overlaying a screen over your vision rather than creating an actual augmented reality effect, but I bought it specifically to do the thing I described and it worked great for that. That said, it was kind of cumbersome to set up and not exactly comfortable to wear for a long period of time, so not sure how practical I’d say it really is. That said, it did work great for being able to see the screen outside. Much better than the laptop’s own screen.

  No, it was literally mounted to my face in front of my eyes, reflecting/magnifying the smartphone screen which was on my forehead, pointing down. It actually worked surprisingly well!

  One time I brought my work laptop out to the park and connected to it through VNC via a smartphone in a cheap “augmented reality” head mounted concave mirror contraption that made it look like a large monitor. Worked surprisingly well, and the stares I got while working were hilarious.

  This is definitely not a real ad from the '70s. Reddy Kilowatt was a mascot created to promote electric power in the 1920s. Different versions of this image of been circulating on the internet for several years. Funny, but not real.

  It seems maybe you’re actually misunderstanding. As I mentioned above, both you and the other commenter are certainly correct that the surrounding atmosphere (water in your case) exerts force on the objects as they fall, with varying effects depending on object density. However, if you take two objects that have vastly more density than the water (let’s say a big tungsten rod and another tungsten rod that has a hollow core), they will drop at approximately the same rate in the water even if their density vs each other varies. The greater the difference of their density versus the density of the medium, the less the effect of the medium. Is there still technically an effect? Sure, but that effect is negligible from a human perceptual perspective.
