Ironman

Real-life Ironman HUD for Android and Google Glass or JetRecon display.

Google Glass: More Info Here

JetRecon: More Info Here

The idea behind this project is to build a heads up display system similar to the one in the Ironman movies.

Feel free to join in on this project. Let's see if we can't make it a reality.

Currently using OpenGL 1.0 (because that's what I know at the moment) for all graphics.

Current Features:

• Tap the mode in the bottom left corner of the screen to toggle through available modes.
• Certain modes have available options accessible through on-screen or hard buttons.
  • For example, snap a photo in Picture mode with the small camera button on the screen.
• Displays current time and date.
• Displays a horizon indicator to show pitch and roll.
• Displays current altitude.
• Displays horizontal scrolling compass.
• Displays current latitude and longitude.
• Displays locked satellites in a visual representation.
• Displays current battery status.
• Options mode allows toggle of camera preview.
• Preferences are saved:
  • Current camera enabled/disabled mode.
  • Current activity mode.
• Added facial detection.

• Satellite Mode (Camera disabled)
