iHUD

Unfortunately, iOS 4.0 has a serious rendering bug which painfully slows down rendering of our horizon graphics (other developers have seen similar issues).No fix has been offered with iOS 4.0.1. However, tests with iOS 4.1 beta shows that this bug has been fixed. So please be patient and hang on until iOS 4.1 will be released.

We are working on a new version of iHUD for use with the new iPhone 4 talking advantage of the new onboard MEMS 3-axis gyro, in combination with the existing 3-axis accelerometer, magnetometer, and GPS. Stay tuned.

iHUD has been iOS 4 tested with iPhone 3G, 3GS, and iPhone 4

iHUD 2.1 released 4-21-10
Added control slider in SETTINGS for smoothing accelerometer data for attitude (horizon). Users can now select smoothing strength that is optimized for each application condition (street, off-road, airborne) and iDevice speed.

Release iHUD 2.1 submitted to app store on 4-15-10 for approval

iPad version of iHUD:
The existing iPhone iHUD app will immediately run in compatibility mode on the iPad at the original resolution or double the window size (double pixels). We will wait to see what is happening with the iPhone and iPad hardware for implementing and upgrading iHUD with an universal build.

Please contact us and provide us with your iHUD experience on the iPad. This will help us to set the goal for the universal iHUD build for both the iPhone and iPad.

The new features are:
iHUD 2.0 has been released. iHUD 2.0 requires OS 3.1.
- Augmented reality (AR) with camera overlaid by the HUD spatial motion visualization (devices with camera only).
- iHUD motion display projection to windshield for night reflective vision.
- Alternative use of onboard magnetic compass or GPS for heading information (for iPhone 3GS and newer), switchable on the fly.

Other improvement:
- Dramatically improved speed dynamic display using the new capabilities in the CoreLocation framework.
- Sky color gradient provides a beautifully realistic sky.
- Minor adjustments and detailing.
- A MODE button has been added for the three modes: EFIS (multi function display) - Reflective vision - Augmented Reality (AR).
- Double tapping in the center of the compass will toggle between the heading source, or selectable in SETTINGS (GPS/Compass option).

iHUD 2.0 has been submitted to the Apple app store. iHUD 2.0 requires OS 3.1. There are amazing new features that have been implemented in version 2.0. This is part of a free major update/upgrade.

iHUD has been successfully installed in the new iPhone 3G-S and field tested. Since the processor is much faster, the graphics are displayed way smoother and way faster then compared to the iPhone 3G second generation. Also, GPS related data provide better speed and compass results.

iHUD has been successfully field tested with the new OS 3.0 installed in the iPhone 3G and iPod touch.

iHUD version 1.1 is released
New in this release:
. Added more damping to slip/skid ball and improved its behavior.
. Implemented an accuracy threshold for GPS data with user controlled slider.
. Improved graphics with smoother motion by 30%.

iHUD version 1.1 has been tested during a trip from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back.
Most of the time 3G was available, occasionally Edge was only available. During the complete trip,
speed, heading, and altitude was compared to a TomTom GPS and were very well in accordance. In one instance on, a speed spike occurred, probably while switching towers (the predominant GPS problem based on occasional erratic time stamps with the iPhone). Altitude was within ± 100 ft, speed ± 1 mph,
heading ± 2º. The GPS accuracy threshold was set to < 200 feet.

11-3-08
iHUD version 1.1 is coming up (at App Store for approval)
New in this release:
. Added more damping to slip/skid ball and improved its behavior.
. Implemented an accuracy threshold for GPS data with user controlled slider.
. Improved graphics with smoother motion.

The iPod touch has no on-board GPS receiver, therefore accelerometer based information (pitch and roll, and G-load) is only operative. iPhone OS 2.1 is required. For purchase and installation on the iPod touch, we recommend to wait until we release the first iHUD update.

iHUD 1.0 first public release.
