In US and western fighter jets they have HUDs - Head-up displays - so can we have M-x hud RET as well, please? Actually development seems to have gone forward since I played F/A-18 Hornet in the 90s, as it says Although they were initially developed for military aviation, HUDs are now used in commercial aircraft, automobiles, and other (mostly professional) applications. [1] And isn't this what geek guys now build for their homes from old monitors, so-called smart/magic mirrors? So you see? There is absolutely no reason for us not to have it!
