That wouldn't work. The fiber optic cables aren't going to just funnel the image to your eyes.
Maybe if you had lenses projecting the image onto a screen, then fiber optic cables at the back of that screen sending pixels of light to another screen on the inside. But that would be a thick bundle of cables. A camera makes moer sense.
