I'm afraid I didn't understand this explanation very well myself. My first
question would be, do the HUD elements (the 2d pics) stay stuck to the
screen space (as if they were part of a game scoreboard overlaid onto the
screen) or do the move around the screen as the main view camera rotates,
tilts, moves, etc like an Augment Reality environment?
