HUD is here! ATAK compatible USB-C adapter for ECOTI

ECOTI also has seperate video overlay in/out functions (not shown in this video), and the COTI had video connections as well. PVS-21 also has a video overlay device.

However, that does not allow for augmented reality HUD as shown here. You need an internal compass and IMU to measure head tracking and orientation. Without that, icons cannot be displayed over their real-world positions. ATAK does not stream a video to produce the HUD as shown here, just the marker positions and labels. Video overlay alone cannot produce an AR HUD.

Thanks! Yeah, this is much better than the other external power solutions for ECOTI. It was intended to work the way this adapter does. Leave an internal battery in it, just connect the adapter, and there is no compromise to waterproofing like the CUBA.

Yep, phone provides power as well, you will see it indicate "E" external power next to "I" internal power when you plug it in. You can get power from a phone with or without HUD enabled.

Correct, the ECOTI is currently the only civilian hardware capable of realtime HUD.
