Thank you.

What's a holographic projecting lens? For what purpose are you hoping to use said lens?
 
Okay I'll use simpler terms.
What would it take to recreate Google glasses? Alone.

What's holographic about google glasses?
 
Google Glass doesn't use a "holographic lens," I think you may be misinterpreting the meaning of the term. Take a look here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holography

Wikipedia.org said:
Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field, rather than of an image formed by a lens, and it is used to display a fully three-dimensional image of the holographed subject, which is seen without the aid of special glasses or other intermediate optics.

The good news is, there are step-by-step guides online for creating a home-made version of Google Glass, see here: Instructables: DIY Homemade Google Glass
