In US and western fighter jets they have HUDs - Head-up
displays - so can we have M-x hud RET as well, please?

Actually development seems to have gone forward since I played
F/A-18 Hornet in the 90s, as it says

  Although they were initially developed for military
  aviation, HUDs are now used in commercial aircraft,
  automobiles, and other (mostly professional)
  applications. [1]

And isn't this what geek guys now build for their homes from
old monitors, so-called smart/magic mirrors?

So you see? There is absolutely no reason for us not to have
it!
