Heads up displays (HUD) aren’t exactly revolutionary. Commercial, business jet and military pilots have been using them for years. Helicopter pilots often use wearable eye-piece versions attached to the pilot’s helmet due to cockpit real-estate limitations and the fact that helicopter pilots are often moving their heads around during flight.
