The specs on the display are pretty bad. In the API examples, the one with the most text is the shopping list with 5 lines of short text. I want to look at longer text on a HUD device. Is this a limitation in the ability to create HUD hardware with higher resolution. Also, can someone with experience in this area explain the pros / cons in the "how it appears" spec? I'm talking about the spec where they say "looks like a X size display X distance away" Here's 2 HUD specs:
Glass: 640X360 25" HD display from 8 ft
Vuzix M100: 400X240 4" mobile screen at 14"
If I place a ~4" mobile device 14" from the top right of my field of vision, I think I could live with that amount of obscured vision, but is it feasible to create that with 720p resolution? Why would you want a 25" display 8ft away? That seems like it would just be good for placing display ads and not really for most useful things aside from quick notifications.
