Good thinking!

I have a thought for a HUD in which the display itself is not head-mounted, and the head-mounted portion is purely optical (non-electronic) and (hopefully) MUCH cheaper.  (Production costs of under $100/unit in volume.)

What I am still looking for is an optical designer to complete the design work, and a manufacturer to contract the production......

Any help out there?  :)

Quality is not a function of time spent, but a function of the effectiveness of the effort.

Coming up with the correct answers, in minimum time, costs less in the long run.
