Heads Up Display (HUD)

Any transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. The origin of the name stems from the pilots being able to view information with heads “up” and looking forward, instead of angled down looking at lower instruments.  Although they were initially developed for military aviation, HUDs are now used in commercial aircraft, automobiles, and other applications.
