In gaming, the HUD differs depending on the genre of the game and the actual game itself. It is usually on onscreen display of a character's status and other statistics (e.g., health, equipment, ammunition level, position in a race, etc.). The HUD allows the player to check a character's statistics without looking away from the gameplay.
