A Head Up Display, or HUD, is a 2D user interface overlaid on the main 3D view. A HUD is traditionally used of status information, icons, buttons and so on.
Because a HUD is typically 2D rather than 3D, it makes sense to render it using an orthographic rather than perspective projection. In OpenSceneGraph, the easiest way to do this is to use a new osg::Camera. The camera is configured to have:

A Node Callback is a piece of code that is run each frame. You can create a custom callback for any node you add to the scene graph, and it is the recommended place to perform updates. To create a callback, simply subclass osg::NodeCallback and override the () operator.
classMyUpdateCallback : public osg::NodeCallback { virtual void operator()(osg::Node* node, osg::NodeVisitor* nv) { // Add custom code here.

OpenSceneGraph has a built in mechanism for debugging, using various notification levels.
Possible levels for message notifications:
- ALWAYS - Consume all messages (e.g. for release builds)
- FATAL
- WARN
- NOTICE - Default level
- INFO
- DEBUG_INFO
- DEBUG_FP
// INFO
osg::notify(osg::INFO) << "Your message here" << std::endl;

In OpenSceneGraph, text objects are
osg::Geode* textGeode = new osg::Geode();
osgText::Text* text = new osgText::Text();
text->setFont("tahoma.ttf");
text->setCharacterSize(16.0f);
text->setPosition(osg::Vec3(4, 4, 0));
text->setAlignment(osgText::Text::LEFT_BASE_LINE);
text->setColor(osg::Vec4(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f));
text->setText("Your text here");
textGeode->addDrawable(text);
