I'm wondering about the effect on aerodynamics. Or even if it'll lever your visor open at speed.

a blurb from the FAQ..

"How does the display mounting clip work?
The MC1 is shipped with a display mounting clip designed to fit most fullface helmet visors and is designed to allow normal visor operation. After performing a simple test to determine your dominant eye, the customer can properly mount the display clip in minutes. The clip will be mounted on either the left or right side of the visor depending on your dominant eye.
The Personal Display can slide up and down in the clip to suit any rider and the visor can be cracked opened for anti-fogging and opened fully on a full-face or convertible helmet with the display attached. The clip is designed to break away in the event of an accident and cause no further injury to the rider."

There shouldnt be a problem with the aerodynamics at speed. The SportVue has been used in some land speed records. Speeds over 200mph.
No worries about the visor opening at speed. The HMD (Head Mounted Display) is aerodynamicly designed to cause the least amount of resistance.

The display mounting clip is glued onto the visor. You are then able to remove/reclip the HMD (head mounted display) but the clip will remain fixed to your visor.
