There is no way to show what it actually looks like when it's on your head, the video of the rift in use is represented on the monitor, NOT the lenses of the Rift. Pointing a camera at the Rift lenses may sorta/kinda give an idea, but not really IMO. Best option is go to BestBuy or whatever in the USA that sells them, they often have a demo unit out for trials. Do that. The graphics/clarity/etc do take a hit, a big one some may argue (me), but the trade off for the experience is well worth it - for most players, and for most games.
