PlanetSide 2 is a massively multiplayer online first-person shooter game in which thousands of players can participate in continuous large scale battles. There's a lot of useful information for the players that can help them to perform well in these battles. This relevant information and stats are displayed in the HUD elements that are overlaid in-game. In order to provide players with a clean and usable HUD, several iteration passes were done, so players won't feel overwhelmed by the amount of information and also the HUD doesn't obscure the game.
The art style for the HUD was based on the theme of a semi-tranparent light-based digital viewfinder.
