Capabilities[]

The user can create or see a heads-up display: a digital layer overlays their field of vision, granting them access to a vast array of information on various aspects of the surrounding environment and the individuals without diverting their attention. At initial level, HUD may show only the main data of the targets (name, surname, date of birth/creation etc.), little else (such as a short description of what they are doing/looking for) or incomplete. At higher levels, it could show all existing data (such as current age, species, eye/hair color, body shape, personality, clothing, distinguishing marks such as tattoos or scars etc.)

At the center of their view, the user sees a translucent display showcasing vital indicators such as their own health gauge, magic/energy reserves, stamina levels, and other essential metrics relevant to their abilities and capabilities. This allows them to monitor their own status with precision, ensuring they remain in optimal condition during any situation.

Additionally, the HUD extends its functionality to show information about others, granting them the ability to observe and interpret vital statistics and attributes of individuals they encounter. For instance, they can readily identify the health, magical potential, and energy reserves of adversaries, allies, or even bystanders within their vicinity. This information appears as dynamic indicators hovering above each individual, providing real-time feedback on their condition and capabilities.

Furthermore, the user possesses the remarkable capability to discern the intricacies of combat techniques and weaponry utilized by others. By simply focusing their gaze upon an opponent, the HUD instantly analyzes and catalogs the various martial arts styles, magical spells, or specialized weapons employed by the individual. This detailed insight allows the user to adapt their own strategies accordingly, exploiting weaknesses and formulating effective countermeasures with unparalleled precision.

In addition to these combat-oriented functionalities, the HUD serves as a navigational aid, providing the user with a minimap overlay detailing their immediate surroundings. This map dynamically updates as they move through the environment, highlighting points of interest, potential threats, and strategic vantage points to enhance their situational awareness and tactical decision-making.
