The one-sentence "definition" that should be in italics.

This pattern is a still a stub.

Head-up Display (HUD) interface

Note: this pattern describes a more generic design solution that a true HUD interface. It is more aligned to the Overlay part in Fagerholt & Lorentzon's conceptual view of visual UI conventions in FPS games[1].

Examples

Doom series

Battlefield series

Fallout series and Elder Scrolls series

Civilization (video game) series

Europa Universalis series

Half-Life series

Left 4 Dead series
