 Posted: Mon Jul 30, 2012 1:10 pm Post subject: HUD for GA aircraft |
 |
|
The big deal about HUDs is that they are focused at infinity with some fancy (heavy) optics. That way you look out the window and everything is in focus, data/target/bad guys laid on top of the scenery. This looks like a see through LCD (or similar), focussed on the plate. I'm not sure that would of huge benefit as you would be continually be re-focussing between the plate and the scenery. So $5000 for something that is only of real use when attacking those pesky ground targets, and then requiring a lot of focus shifting. It would be interesting to know what kind of lag there is between the world moving and the depiction on the glass responding - if it is more that 100ms (that is 0.1 seconds) then it is too slow to be of much use and will only be a hindrance.
Thanks for posting.

This: http://www.virtualhud.com/VirtualHud/VirtualHUD.aspx might be better for single engine tractor planes.
