Wont give up my tried and true navigation equipment but I am a self professed gadget guy and this would be something I would be very interested in if the price was at or under the 2k price point.  Also depending on other costs such as subscriptions etc!

Garmin offers a HUD for $150 that connects to an IPHONE for automotive use. This could be a fantastic add on for Garmin Pilot, Foreflight, or WingsX. Somehow i doubt Garmin will allow the use of the unit for aviation use.

I posted about this back in May when Google Glass came out. Inevitably someone will develop HUD software for Google Glass. I could easily see Foreflight or WingX develop an interface for it as well, to include not just a HUD but virtual terrain and God only knows what else. I would not be surprised in the not to distant future if they also take traffic information and display its approximate location in a device like Google Glass. I think the guys in the video are developing their own hardware but I wonder if they will have a hard time competing both in terms of quality and cost with Google Glass. With their sales volume, Google glass may be hard to beat coastwise and then all it will take is for someone to come along with inexpensive software and make their product obsolete. Just like IPad and Foreflight did to the aviation specific tablets..
