Up to you whether you want to limit your answer to software that is possible/realistic

    This goes into the presently unrealistic, but I want a HUD that can display quests, tasks, inventory and health stats.

      No, it’s plausible

      The unrealistic part is expecting the company (who has access to whatever information you use for your HUD stats) not to take greedy advantage of every tiny detail of your life to fill your HUD with ads and probably other nefarious shit

      And for the HUD to not be AI-powered, since they’d also be too lazy to put real programming into it

      I’d love an online-free version of that though. Huge one-time purchase, software runs entirely within hardware. That’s the dream

        Ya that’s why I think it’s presently unrealistic, because corporate greed would absolutely make it ad riddled garbage.

        But AR and machine learning, so it can take my personal and work tasks/goals, things I purchase or otherwise acquire (like gifts, other free stuff, things bought outside a digitized marketplace), on hardware and heavily secured but otherwise able to access the Internet.

        I essentially want a video game style HUD IRL. It would help so damn much with object impermanence and low functioning short term memory. Oh yeah, I forgot I had this thing or this side quest waiting, without having to manually track it.

        Tried using a productivity suite for personal stuff a couple times and just swept it aside. Granted it would probably end up adding to notification fatigue anyways.
