I always assumed that the HUD we see is a visual representation of what Tony sees. It feels bigger and more “deep” than it actually is, because it’s basically VR/AR. In reality if you actually looked inside his helmet you wouldn’t see anything because it’s all projected on his lenses like google glass or a VR headset. I quite like it. The only change I’d make, is that instead of a black void, we would see a slightly digitized version of the environment he’s in so it feels like Tony is seeing the HUD floating In augmented reality and he actually has no blind spots because he has a projection of what’s around him. That would be cool, but I’m happy with what we have.

Yea I bet it's was real struggle! That was actually a part I had to cut from the video, just to keep the runtime down - But essentially they were using a light system to direct RDJ as to where to look when filming this stuff. So a light would go off on the right of the screen, he'd look right... The a light would go off on the left and he'd look left And then they blended all these real lights in with the HUD VFX - so it was always brightest where Tony was looking. Its pretty cool, but I imagine it was a still stressful to manage all this and keep up with the timings! Thanks you for watching too! :D

I think the most telling point of just how excellent and groundbreaking the CGI work on this HUD is, is the fact that it's a ridiculously dumb idea that is executed so brilliantly that one doesn't even question it. They created this space between the character's face and helmet that simply doesn't and couldn't exist given its design, and yet it seems so utterly natural and believable. It's a film moment of true CGI brilliance and I thank you for explaining its genesis in such depth and detail.

A system that projected directly into his eyes, Google Glass style, could (in theory) create a 3D image that he would see as being “further away” than the helmet’s inner surface.

My favorite "story moment", by far, is when Tony is replying to Roodes after the crash with F-22, objecting that was actually the plane hitting him: during that dialogue can be seen on the hud a visualization of the accident, with the ripped off wing flashing red. Real attention to details!

One of my favorites has always been when the Chitauri wormhole in Avengers releases the (much larger) second wave after they defeated the first, his hud rotates the traditional blue out and around to bring in an angry red "shit's about to get very real" interface instead. Perfect visual storytelling emphasizing the narrative beat that just hit.

One thing I find cool is how in iron man 1 and 2, when Tony talks to J.A.R.V.I.S, on the computer monitor in his shop, a transcript appears with two text boxes, one with Tony's speech, one with J.A.R.V.I.S'. This shows how Jarvis works, it convert's Tony's speech into text, then J.A.R.V.I.S responds to the text. Which gets spoken back to tony. This computer monitor can be seen in the scenes in Tony's shop when he talks to J.A.R.V.I.S. Not sure if that counts as an easter egg, though.

I sometimes wondered how much of the HUD we see is actual contextually relevant information, and how much was just random jargon text and numbers to fill in the space. I never imagined it was THAT painstakingly thought out! I guess we as viewers take a lot of the things we see on screen for granted. especially in an age where technology is so advanced it seems almost automatic, but we don't really think about who sat down and developed that technology in the first place.

It's interesting to think about how this would have looked or felt with a different actor in the role. RDJ's ability to express complex emotions without saying a word has always captivated me. I've rewatched Kiss Kiss Bang Bang many times, and there's one moment when he discovers the dead body of an innocent person. His character wasn't even close with that person, but the sadness and tragedy he communicates in his expression is so profound and human that it hit me quite hard, and has stuck with me ever since. Although Iron Man isn't as tragic and the emotions aren't quite as complicated, I still think this movie's success is partly owed to his ability to say so much without saying a word--which, as you've described, was made possible by these incredible effects.

One of the interesting things I've found as I've recently been reading a bunch of older marvel stuff is how the HUD was displayed in the comics prior to the movies. It's not too different in concept, but it was more pulled-back and less personal; you basically never got the face-to-face view with any kind of HUD involved, and when they wanted to show Tony viewing large amounts of info at once he was sometimes shown as sort of floating, armorless, surrounded by disembodied screens (these were usually shots from behind so that we could see the information he had, because the transparent HUD idea for front shots seems to not have been solved).

The desktop computer vs MP3 player comparison makes a lot of sense. The computer is a general-purpose device. The MP3 player is a specialised one. The specialisation provides much more room for simplification that you just can't have with the computer, simply due to the fact that the computer has to remain flexible. Similarly, the suit is relatively specialised, so it has room for its UI to be simplified once the initial kinks are worked out.

I've always loved the whole Iron Man HUD thing, but the reason for it always perplexed me: "The audience NEEDS to see the actors face to feel any sort of emotion or connection." I feel like that reasoning seems kinda demeaning towards the audience. I mean, you got series like Kamen Rider and Super Sentai/Power Rangers that have actors fight in their suit constantly without any sort of face reveal, at least not until the climax usually. These people can convey emotions just by voice alone, and the audience tends to be smart enough to still have a connection. I feel like the Spiderman and Deadpool movies best exemplify this, since they rarely ever take their masks off during action scenes.

Iron Man is such an amazing movie. Fascinating breakdown of how the HUD was designed. When we saw this movie in 2008 did any of us recognize what a ground breaking movie this was? The Orphanage worked on this for the better part of a year. The funny thing has to do with Paul Bettany. He said in an interview that he came in for a couple hours to record his voice over of J.A.R.V.I.S which is the easiest money he ever made. HUDs had to be made for Obi and Rhodey, too. I'll need to go back and see if Obi's HUD is different because he would not think like Tony. I will also have to see if Tony customized War Machine HUD for Rhodey because he was a pilot. Helmets off to The Orphanage.

I can imagine this HUD being shown like a holographic protector, maybe even like a super advanced VR headset (with only voice commends), that displays the screen right onto the eyes of the user, of which from the viewer's point of view, it's takes up the entire frame of the screen, where as from the user's (tony stark), it just doesn't, so yeah I can guess the eyepieces of the iron man mask is projecting that HUD right onto Tony's eyes (again from his point of view).

I really never thought much into the hud, I just liked it, now that I know so much more about it I appreciate it so much more so.

If I may say so, if a person is willing and able to watch the Iron Man movies in 3D, it is GLORIOUS. A friend of mine has a 3D 1920x1080 projector and some good glasses, played through his PC it was smooth as butter and jaw dropping how much 3D changes these movies. Honestly, 3D has changed a lot of movies for me, it is nuts.

Bravo! Videos like this is why today's KZitem is so awesome. We live in a world where the "long tail search" of the early 2000s Internet is mature. It was great to see the tech struggle of 2007 amplified by your voice on this. Thank you.

So yeah when you talked about being able to see the actor's face I immediately thought of the Halo TV show. While in the games, we never see Master Chief's face (it's actually a bit of a running gag; the first game the camera moves away just in time to not see his head as he takes his helmet off in the final scene). However the Halo TV showrunners had to grapple with the very problem you put forth. Unfortunately they decided to solve it by having Master Chief spend most his time with his helmet off, and most time out of his signature armor. In Season 2, he even loses access to his armor in a warzone, presumably because it is difficult to film in. Fans have generally not reacted positively to this reinterpretation of Halo. Although Season 2 is so far seeming to be a step up in quality from 1, it is still very much getting a mixed reception (which also says a lot about Season 1). There's also The Mandalorian which supposedly did a good job despite the lead almost always wearing his helmet but I have not watched that.

The omega widget thing actually reminds me a lot of the infotainment OS on mazdas in the late 2010s. Most cars at the time had a traditional ipad-style touchscreen with apps you had to manually select, but mazdas operated on a dial on the center console to make selections, keeping everything easily and comfortably accessible to the driver. The apps are laid out on a wheel on the screen which visibly turns as the driver moves the control dial.

This was a really interesting video! It's super cool that you shed light on often overlooked effects like this one and it's especially interesting as someone who does VFX as a hobby. If I may provide some constructive criticism however, the way you integrate quotes into the video structure could be better. You displayed a few quotes throughout this video, but cut away from them in seconds, before we have a chance to read or digest them (and I say that as an extremely quick reader). Also, you generally paraphrase the quotes you use, which only makes it more difficult. I think it'd be easier to follow you if you displayed the quote, read out the important part (giving us time to read along) and then fade it out while then going into more detail about the context and explaining the importance. As for my favourite Iron Man HUD moment, it has to go to Age of Ultron's Hulkbuster boot sequence, mainly because it cleverly expands on the techniques you mentioned in this very video! When Tony enters the Hulkbuster, at first we see the inside of his helmet as we've come to know it, but then it zooms out tremendously, visually expanding the space inside the helmet as numerous new HUD elements (in yellow, a contrasting colour to his usual blue!) fly in to fill the space. It immediately tells us everything we need to know about the Hulkbuster: It's big, it's advanced, and things are about to get SERIOUS. All communicated through a simple HUD; props to the artists, they did an awesome job with it.

okay but you know it would be possible to make an illusion of depth in that small gap with actual HUD?trick of lasers, math, and the fact we have 2 eyes. it may be a silly idea, as Tonys eye would need to focus on multiple planes, it would be easier to have the HUD projected seemingly far away (but still done inside the helmet). since hes focusing on the enemies its best to project the HUD elements as far as he is focusing

It really wasn't weird at the time to anyone who's played video games, its very reminiscent of Metroid Prime especially, for anyone who doesn't know, Metroid Prime came out in 2002 and had a first person perspective, now thats not new in games and nor is having a HUD in game telling you your ammo and things, but prime what Prime did differently to games like say Doom was clearly integrated the HUD to be obviously something inside the helmet, it used some cleaver tricks to constantly remind you that your perspective was from someone inside a helmet and the HUD is projected inside that helmet not tacked on to the outside of the camera as a lot of other games look, for one thing it was curved, the icons were transparent, it looked very much like a hologram from Tron, it flickered from time to time, you see the rain drops run down the visor, it steams up showing the condensation, and if fired, a missile explosion would light up the area and cause a reflection in the visor of the main protagonists face. the HUD used strange alien symbols that were mapped to the Gamecube controller in a way that they appeared onscreen to match the button positions on the controller which added both immersion and understanding (something thats been somewhat lost in the wii release of the Trilogy and subsequent Switch remaster of the original game which also lacks some of the originals lighting effects). Iron Man to me just reminds me of Prime but reversed and is thus as a gamer easy to understand as I already know what Starks view from inside that helmet is. its just the reflection of Metroid Prime.

for some reason I thought this was cinematographer Matthew Libatique's idea, as the shot is very similar to the close-ups he used to shoot for Darren Aronofsky's films, most notoriously Pi, Requiem for a Dream and The Fountain.

Ther holograms and HUD in iron man was one of the most fun effects to watch, it was almost trivial to the story, but it made you believe the rest of the tech, which was special effects and you can tell sometimes, it made it more real. If the HUD was so real and far out, then the rest of the tech must be too. Nothing was an afterthought in that movie, it was so good.

The scary thing is, I just rewatched Iron Man recently and still believed almost all the suit shots were using practical effects. Seeing these progression shots of the Mk 1 suit being fully cgi in some if not most shots is baffling to me. Most movies I rewatch from childhood, I can see where the cgi is and go “well that didn’t age too well”. I think I first experienced this watching some of the behind the scenes shots of Jurassic Park. Yes some of the shots have not aged well- but some of the shots of the T-Rex and the velociraptors I was convinced it was practical effects- and here are behind the scenes shots on KZitem proving it false.
