The racing game Split/Second had an innovative position for the HUD behind the car, rather than the typical 'corners of the screen' position. A comparitive study would be interesting. If no-one else does it, maybe I'll have to get in touch! :-) That sounds interesting Jacob, and I agree that it could be useful with the HUD.

Interesting that you mention remote research, because that's exactly what I was thinking about when I started reading the article. We actually run our own remote testing tool at http://intuitionhq.com - it's a really simple way to test UIs, site designs, redesigns and wireframes, but I'd never though of it for testing games before. I think for the UI and HUD it would be a pretty neat way to test, and I'd be really curious to some results. If you'd like to try out IntuitionHQ flick me an email or check us out on twitter @intuitionhq Thanks for sharing! Thanks for the great post – this is really good information to get out there.
