“…Because of the high priority given to direct visual information acquisition, drivers typically prefer to locate HUD symbology outside of central vision (Inuzuka, Osumi and Shinkai, 1991;Sojourner and Antin, 1990;Okabayashi, Sakata, Fukano, Daidoji, Hashimoto and Ishikawa, 1989;Weihrauch, Meloeny and Goesch, 1989). In fact, the results of the Inuzuka et al (1991) study suggest that any symbology placed within a 5 degree radius of the fovea would be "annoying" to drivers.…”

This document provides an overview of studies investigating the use of HUDs by aviators and drivers, including a summary of HUD research variables, test procedures and study results. The predicted performance advantages of automotive HUDs include increased eyes-on-the-road time and reduced reaccommodation time, particularly for the older driver. To date, the research does not provide robust evidence for operationally significant performance advantages due to HUDs. However, conclusions are equivocal due to the interaction of independent variables such as workload, display complexity and age. Studies indicate that key operator performance issues with HUDs include contrast interference, where HUD symbology masks safety-critical targets in the forward driving scene, and cognitive capture, or degradation of responses to external targets due to the processing of information from a HUD image. In general, the review supports and extends earlier findings that HUD information cannot be processed separately from external roadway information. Countermeasures reviewed in this paper include the use of conformal symbology, and auditory HUDs. The review identifies a number of implementation issues for automotive HUDs: (1) reliable measures of the effect of HUD use on responses to priority external targets must be obtained, under realistic operating conditions; (2) practical considerations of cost, size, and adaptability to a range of driver eye heights figure prominently if the use of HUDs in the private vehicle fleet in the U.S. is to become routine; and (3) driver age and associated visual/cognitive performance differences which are commonly linked to safe vehicle operation must be taken into account during product design, development, and testing. 17.

“…The head up display emerged as a gun sight technology to minimize information overload by centralizing critical flight data within the pilot's field of view, and the technology was adopted by commercial aviation for data displaying such as speed, altitude, compass and localizer readings [1]. Since 1988, Head Up Display (HUD) has become increasingly available for vehicle speedometer, tachometer and navigation system, and recently developed as a built-in type in a premium model [2].…”

Portable virtual display system design with a wide eye motion box for a motor vehicle

et al. 2011

We have succeeded in designing a portable virtual display system based on a virtual projected optical design with 0.44"LCD panel. We have optimized the optical performance using a 2D optical multi zoom so that we should obtain a comfortable eye motion box area. Furthermore, it is designed to mechanically adjust the system tilting angle in considerations for different height of head positions. It is also able to display navigations maps and DMV in full color using RGB 3in1 LED sources. We believe that this is developed as an alternative to conventional built-in type HUD system targeting the high volume aftermarket at an affordable price.

“…Drivers' response time to an urgent event is faster with a HUD than a HDD (Head Down Display), and speed control is also more consistent [4,16]. HUD allows more time to scan the traffic scene, quicker reaction times to external road events, earlier detection of road hinders, less mental stress for drivers and easier for first time users to use [17], lower recognition error rates and less time than using the traditional dashboard [18], and enhances understanding of the vehicle's surrounding space particularly under low visibility conditions [16]. Globally, most drivers feel safer when driving with a HUD [19].…”

Abstract. In the context of automotive, Human Systems Interactions Design is a great challenge, taking into account the road safety issues and the complexity of the driving task under high time constraint. To support this task, existing on-board systems display mainly visual messages, forcing the drivers to move their eyes away from the road. This paper presents an overview of studies related to drivers' perception and cognition when this information is displayed on the windshield (Head-Up Display or HUD), as it can be a solution to reduce the duration and frequency drivers look away from the traffic scene. Nevertheless, HUD might have also shortcomings raising new critical contexts, which are discussed. The Augmented Reality (AR) concept is also presented, as this solution can bear HUD potential drawbacks such as the risk of occluding relevant objects of traffic as well as phenomena like perception tunneling and cognitive capture.
