Re: IRON MAN Hall of Armor W.I.P.
Thanks, I will remember this when I start on the HUD
Found something interesting for you : MOD Live GPS Heads up Display | Recon Instruments
this snowboard/ski HUD seems to be the closest thing you'll find to the movie HUD of the helmet, unless you somehow make it yourself. I may use one of these in my own Mk VI armor if i manage to finish the project. From what I understood, all the informations like speed, weather, GPS, height, coordinates and stuff are displayed on a very small screen in your peripheral vision but it apparently it . Although, unless I misunderstood, the image does not appears right in front of you, overlapping what you see, like one of those Augmented reality app for smartphone using the camera, here the image stays on the small screen. In the other hand, you can track people using the same system, or find POI near you, so I'm a bit confused on how that works exactly. Cool thing is it has an SDK and runs on Android, so apps can be developed, adding new features that would fit us more than the basic functions, since they are for snowboarding and skiing normally. Heck, I'd buy an android phone just for it if it comes to that, but I'd like to see it run with iOS...
The downsides : 400$, that will make the cost of the suit go up, and my guess is that you'll need some space, so it's not really a problem, but it means that the helmet have to be big enough.
