How to Display Transparent Overlays With Monitor Programs

Displaying Programs With Monitor Commands

You do not need special commands to draw onto your wearable screen. Digital Lens Feed Mod reuses standard ComputerCraft monitor commands, turning regular computer terminal output into a floating heads-up display. Any monitor program you run on your connected computer can output custom text, coordinates, alerts, or flight telemetry straight onto your HUD Glasses. The overlay supports the full character set as well as box-drawing characters for framing neat instrument panels and status gauges.

Keeping Your Vision Clear

Unlike solid monitor blocks placed in the world, the heads-up display features transparent backgrounds so your text and UI elements overlay cleanly without blocking your view ahead. When arranging your terminal output, leave unused areas blank and place status boxes near the screen edges to keep the center of your vision open.

To refine how much information fits on your screen, use the built-in quick resolution scaling to adjust character size and screen layout, or edit hudWidth and hudHeight in the configuration to change the default character grid.
