As in-vehicle systems use head up displays (HUDs) more often,
researchers need to be able to investigate the correct way of displaying
information on these interfaces. In order to do this, researchers need easily
modifiable head up display interfaces to test against each other, something
most easily done digitally in a simulated environment. In an effort to allow
for this we have developed a HUD designer that allows data to put input to
the system and then used to display any created HUD onto either MiniSim
visuals directly or a secondary HUD display. This document was written as a
guide for those who are interested in using the Georgia Tech HUD Designer
software to inform them of what it requires, inform users of what the system
is doing, and then linking them to the software to use to make the
connections discussed. Please refer to the included software license. If you
use the system for studies please simply cite this tech report.
