Remote thermal detection

A HUD would be cool, but don't you think it would be a bit of a problem, or annoyance, keeping track of the towplane on tow, finding oncoming traffic, especially on the ridge, and obstructing part of your view in general? i mean it's a cool idea, but is it practical?

Really, why is that? Not that this applies to you, but I have noticed that when new technology comes along so do the naysayers, GPS, Flarm, stealth Flarm, "entertainment system computers..." "This is the end of our sport".....

Having been an offshore sailor and glider pilot for many years, I can tell you that whatever you invent, it will still take a sharp mind and earned skills to guide an airplane or sailboat using just the energy in the atmosphere.

Personally, I want a Hud projected onto the canopy.
