Well you can use glTranslate() to 'sort of' roll the HUD to stay in the 'straight ahead' position, but this is a 'hack' at best. Note that the 'roving eye vector' < mouse-view mode > came long after the HUD was fairly well frozen into something very similar to it's current state. Best to think of it as being displayed onto your 'hi tech' glasses that always follow your line of site like a pair of contacts :-) FWIW - if I was to do a 3d HUD I think that I would draw it onto the inside of a unit sphere. hmm... I started doing just that at one time now where is that ...
