So I never tried it, but I was thinking of doing the same thing for a medical simulation I was working on a while back. Specifically, I wanted the player to be able to place and use a stethoscope (done as a weapon) while watching an EKG type readout.
Good luck on it, it would be worth giving it a try. Being able to watch one thing while aiming at another might be interesting for an FPS. It might be a bit odd at first when it comes to movement - as fine movement might be kind of hard (a lot of wild gun movement). But maybe consider having it be an alt fire mode of some kind?
