The preferred term is "head up display" (no "S" in "head"). That is, unless you have more than one head. It's for the same reason it's not "heads set" or "headsphones".
"Heads up", on the other hand, is what you yell before someone gets hit in the head with a baseball.

"A head-up display or heads-up display—also known as a HUD"
Maybe that particular phrasing was more appropriate when it applied to just a single pilot but, in this day and age, with HUD's popping up in places where they can be viewed by multiple 'heads' I think it wouldn't be inappropriate to use.

Sure, but I think he has a point in regards to a HUD that can only work with one user at a time, as would be the case with glasses. Also note that he did use the term "preferred" instead of saying that the plural term is incorrect or wrong.
PS: I just disagreed with you slightly which means I personally attacked you according to DaHarder. You better report me.

My understanding of the term was that it comes from the phrase "heads up." Sure, there might only one person receiving the heads up, but one would still use the plural. To put it another way: if I was going to inform someone of an upcoming event I wouldn't begin with "I just wanted to give you a head up..."
The Google Glass(es) Project is apparently real, with a video posted today at 9to5Mac. Really impressive and ground-breaking IMO. I'd like to see them pull this off.
Here's a much better article about the project along with pics of the prototype glasses currently being tested by Google employees.
"People I have spoken with who have have seen Project Glass said there is a misconception that the glasses will interfere with people?s daily life too much, constantly streaming information to them and distracting from the real world. But these people said the glasses actually free people up from technology.
One person who had used the glasses said: ?They let technology get out of your way. If I want to take a picture I don?t have to reach into my pocket and take out my phone; I just press a button at the top of the glasses and that?s it.?
Spectacular. Now I can have ads thrown right into my eyes regardless of the direction I face!
Ha! Just like the targeted ads in Minority Report.
Actually, this reminds me of that story about one of the first researchers who came up with augmented glasses. He was terrible at remembering faces, so he put a camera on his glasses and he'd snap a shot whenever he met someone, adding their name via a keyboard in his pocket.
Later, when he met them again, he'd key his wearable computer to find that person's picture, and display the name on his glasses.
This allowed him to do much better in group situations, especially at department parties where he needed to be sociable in order to get more research grants

Wikipedia appears to say that both are fine:

I agree with your 'attack'.

...but I'm still reporting you.
My sincere hope is that these glasses from Google will be named GOGGLES.
Eh, they'll go with GOOGLES. They've never been ones to spell correctly.

I see no giant augmented reality advertisements projected onto 30% of all surfaces.
I refuse to believe this is anything like what they'd actually ship.

Do you mean there's no way they'd project large ads or that it can't be real if there's not big ads in the video? The second one's actually funny. . .

The second.

Looks like the developer version Google Glass units should ship within days, now in the FCC hands for the final check-off.

Dickheads...
HUD ...Head Up Display....was fighter aircraft technology DECADES before you TWATS thought you happened across it.
There was only ONE head to keep up.
This has absolutely NOTHING to do with the 'heads up' call...NOTHING...do you understand???
