A head-up display, also known as a HUD, is any transparent display that presents data without requiring users to look away from their usual viewpoints. The origin of the name stems from a pilot being able to view information with the head positioned “up” and looking forward, instead of angled down looking at lower instruments. A HUD also has the advantage that the pilot’s eyes do not need to refocus to view the outside after looking at the optically nearer instruments.
The goal of this project was to effectively use keyframes, animation principles along with video, type and illustration to create a Heads Up Display. Tone, color, opacity, shape, position along with transitions and consistency of shape/form/color were are considerations. Concepts were developed through research, storyboards, and animatics.
