Sure Gill, but what's the Vision HUD for? Doesn't it work well enough to make checking the screen a once in a while activity? I would look at them, like I look at my analog 2dry, every few minutes...
Well, in the end it was her HUD that caught her attention, it did it's job allerting her with plenty of time to react, and she reacted accordingly, but the fact that one is more prone to stare at numbers for so long that eventually they stop thinking about them is still well illustrated in her experience, as she pointed out.

I personally see the HUD as a back up for those few minutes in between handset checks rather than a way to make those checks less frequent, but that's just the way I look at it. i just don't think the brain processes the info with the same resolution. the manufacturer did not intend it to be an primary, at least on the vision.
