The ability to fucking turn it off.

Jerking off at post will be less gay

it should shoot death lasers, that'd be cool

combine it with some stealth drones with thermal sensors and we could be video game hud for real

Wanna know how I know that you served.?
I did it in every country or state the corps sent me.

how about go fuck yourself, that shit is not a good idea.

Glasses, goggles, contacts, projecting directly onto the eye. There are methods other full helmets. OP is asking about the use of HUDs, not if HMDs are practical. Why don't you pull the stick out, it's a 4chan thread about technology that doesn't exist yet.

Gunfire locators. The exist now but the interface is pretty garbage. It's a tiny screen that gives you a direction. If it was on a HUD you could draw the bullet path in the air. It could fade after a few minutes, group together lots of lines, or whatever else so that it doesn't clutter your vision.

IRL wallhax would be incredibly useful.

Plotting trajectories would be nice, mostly for 40mm and portable mortars. No more ladder sights, calculating, or guessing. The HUD will draw a dotted line right where it'll land.

Very, very good idea. It would allow much quicker use of organic firepower against an ambush.

plotted trajectories is part of what trackingpoint already does iirc..

There is one very big concern i have from a gaming standpoint about using some sort of vr/hud setup irl....
the visual latency

It's a shame that HUD for firefighting is going no where because the vast majority of fire districts are poor as fuck (at least american ones).

The last I heard of firefighting HUD or AR was like 5 years ago.

'predator vision' on a HUD already exists, it just isn't strictly man-portable yet. google EVS, SVS, and the F-35 HMD. The technology isn't quite there yet, but it's getting close. you'll probably start to see some interesting things in the next decade.

Link them to some of these. Too lightweight for wind but perfect for indoors.

NSW police have tested a helmet for motorcycle cops that can automatically identify and record license plates

oh right I forgot that. Replace baka with S M H together no caps

A compass

Yeah, simple stuff but being able to say "incoming from north by north west, bearing 345" is a lot more descriptive than "Incoming from the right"

Y'know, as a programmer I looked into doing this once. Turned out to be really, really hard. Half the trouble is getting every node in the network to agree with what signals are associated with what target and the other half is getting them to talk fast enough to be useful.

>>32899801
Not too hard to do with just a rangefinder and a gyroscope. You'd need to dial in what kind of weapon you're using each time you swap it out, though.

I think there are systems that do most of this already although the real time 3D line is hard to do without charting out the entire surroundings.

a realistic case would have a drone overhead mapping the envioronment, which sends that info to the troops. then the troop's setup calculates the trajectory. presets for weapons/loadout.

the ability to see a holograph of your CO teaching you how to jump and crouch

>drone overhead mapping the envioronment
>realistic case
ah, yes, after all drones for fireteam sized applications totally carryfull scale LIDAR gear with them to "map the enviroment"

>>32902246
theres probably secret LIDAR on the U2s

>>32902345
Real aircraft use SAR; new systems only have like a 10cm resolution from high altitude, but they can map something like 10x10km in seconds.

These threads always make me giggle.
>Do you think we'll have incredible technology to aid in killing people in the future?

If you transported someone living in the 80s to modern times and show them how far we've come in such a short time, they'd have a fucking stroke.

Future warfighting could involve super soakers that shoot radioactive tranny piss and I wouldnt bat a goddamn eye.

I take it you've never seen a sci-fi film from the 80's. The future they were envisioning then is a lot more advanced than what we actually have now. If someone from the 80's saw 2017, they'd just be like "Is this seriously it?"

t. someone who lived through the 80's

>10cm resolution
That's more than enough for many applications.

What an original thought! I'm certain you didn't say that for pats on the back!
