00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:07.439
heads up displays or Huds as they're more commonly referred to are display

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:12.519
units which allow the user to monitor important information on a display

00:00:10.280 --> 00:00:16.640
without the distraction of well uh putting his or her head down okay so

00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:21.279
admittedly the name wasn't inspired by any particularly outof thebox thinking

00:00:18.720 --> 00:00:25.680
but while the name May suck Huds themselves are a revolutionary idea and

00:00:23.840 --> 00:00:29.359
although many of you will quickly recognize heads up displays as the

00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:35.239
interface showing you know how much health and Gordon Freeman has left after

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:37.840
clubbing 400 baby head crabs or whatever

00:00:35.239 --> 00:00:43.079
really that's just fantasy and in the same way that truth is often Cooler Than

00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.520
Fiction the origin of Hud technology is

00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:50.399
actually derived from jet fighters even better now to be clear they weren't as

00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:54.760
advanced as what you'll find on your collector's edition Master Chief helmet

00:00:52.440 --> 00:01:00.000
that was totally worth the $13 you spent on it but rather they were based roughly

00:00:57.559 --> 00:01:04.799
off an old airman's machine gun reflector site which illuminated a

00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:08.560
Target in the site when properly aligned this technique was eventually adapted By

00:01:06.840 --> 00:01:13.720
Her Majesty's Royal Air Force in the early' 40s and adopted to use cathode

00:01:11.159 --> 00:01:17.759
ray tubes and phosphorous coated TV screens you know like the one your

00:01:15.159 --> 00:01:23.680
grandma still has to allow night Pilots to monitor targets directly via HUD

00:01:20.680 --> 00:01:25.720
radar and then well from there on the

00:01:23.680 --> 00:01:31.640
seals never really stood a chance did they second gen units instead use solid

00:01:29.200 --> 00:01:37.079
light such as from LEDs to project images onto a pilot's wind screen from

00:01:34.479 --> 00:01:41.880
an LCD display and are commonly found on Commercial aircraft but due to their

00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:47.680
cost at the time were unlikely to be found in consumer goods like cars third

00:01:44.880 --> 00:01:52.759
gen Huds on the other hand don't require projection at all anymore but instead

00:01:50.479 --> 00:01:58.439
utilize a specially coated viewing surface and a doad called an optical

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:02.640
wave guide which manipulates visual light spectrum waves whatever the pants

00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:08.440
that means allowing folks like automakers to display readouts like

00:02:04.880 --> 00:02:11.280
speed GPS navigation uh music controls

00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:16.319
or even like web content directly onto their proprietary HUD systems on the

00:02:13.920 --> 00:02:21.480
windshield which finally brings us to fourth gen systems which use lasers to

00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:25.640
display highdefinition images directly onto clear surfaces like that suet

00:02:23.720 --> 00:02:30.840
interface and Minority Report potentially making them very compact

00:02:28.200 --> 00:02:34.760
portable and versatile but heads up displays aren't just useful when

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:39.239
operating a vehicle or solving future crime in fact there's an Ever growing

00:02:37.160 --> 00:02:45.239
list of programs which in essence transform a person's smartphone camera

00:02:42.239 --> 00:02:47.840
into a miniature HUD and you know while

00:02:45.239 --> 00:02:51.080
yes technically any display that sits right in front of your face so you don't

00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:57.560
have to put your head down is technically a HUD most of them are better implemented than that and that

00:02:55.400 --> 00:03:02.599
allows people to see information about local hotpots Museum exist exhibits or

00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:07.480
even the Plenty of Fish profiles of passers by as they walk down the street

00:03:05.400 --> 00:03:12.920
and as this technology continues to develop be that in the form of laser

00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:17.640
displays uh transparent OLED displays holographic displays or even head

00:03:15.560 --> 00:03:21.480
mounted displays that have a screen to show you the virtual stuff with cameras

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:25.799
mounted to the front for the view of real life more and more people will be

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:29.439
able to enjoy the benefit of access to information without the use of their

00:03:27.640 --> 00:03:33.000
hands and assuming all goes according to plan this will even be possible without

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:37.959
having to wear something that makes you look and feel like a total early adopter

00:03:35.799 --> 00:03:42.680
glass hole but what if we lived in a world where you didn't have to go out in

00:03:39.920 --> 00:03:46.200
public at all to get your razors and other bathroom supplies shipped directly

00:03:44.760 --> 00:03:51.120
to your door for only a few bucks a month well that world is now and here if

00:03:49.799 --> 00:03:54.920

dollarshaveclub.com to join the

00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:42.440
club thanks for watching guys if you like the video you know what to do if

00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:45.680
you disliked well you know how to do that too I've seen plenty of evidence of

00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:50.919
that on the internet also you suggestions for future fast as posses go

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:54.720
ahead and uh leave a comment below actually periodically we do go through

00:04:52.479 --> 00:04:58.479
them and look for suggestions and I think that pretty much wraps it for this

00:04:56.759 --> 00:05:02.479
one don't miss the Channel Super Fun video where we paint my car though that

00:05:00.919 --> 00:05:08.080
is over there and you are going to want to be over there watching

00:05:05.080 --> 00:05:08.080
that
