Put a UV filter over a camera and look at a screen.

>old style welder's mask
>smoked glass (piece of glass you cover with sooth with a candle)
>etc.
it's an anticlimactic event when you just stare at it
just wait for the youtube videos by the stars watching nerds that have the tech

Welding helmet + torch goggles

Welding helmet will keep you from going blind immediately but it's not strictly strong enough

Coincidentally, the foil from a bag of potato chips or pack of pop tarts can be used to look at the sun

I just gave this a shot and it sucked ass. I'm going to risk it with just 4 pairs of sunglasses.

Why the fuck would I want to watch a projected image? Just watch it on TV at that point. Anyway, I had fun, probably didn't blow my eyes out.
