Avatar Information HUD Version 1.8.4

General Description
===============
The Avatar Information HUD enables you to quickly and easily create custom lists of avatars to monitor without the need to create an SL Group or have them on your friends list. It is ideal for keeping track of customers, fans, club members, or other avatars of interest to you. Avatar names are displayed on the HUD face and will indicate their online/offline status by color. Unlike other avatar online status trackers, there is no need to navigate multiple menus to select an avatar. A single click on an avatar name will instantly provide a link to open their profile page. This makes it much faster and easier to use. The HUD also automatically checks for upcoming avatar birthdays and sends you birthday reminder messages. Four HUD layouts are included to optimally store and display up to 20, 40, 60 or 80 avatars, respectively.

NOTE: There is also a Terminal version designed specifically to be rezzed (not-worn). While it does not use floating text like the HUD, it has several additional features such as supporting multiple authorized users and sending online notifications and birthday reminders to multiple avatars. It has a land impact of 1 and is ideal for shared use by staff members, friends, etc. See "Avatar Information Terminal" in related products below.

Calibration
========
This HUD uses floating text to display avatar names on the face of the HUD to enable its unique one-click avatar selection. Because display/screen settings can affect the alignment of floating text to the HUD, it must be calibrated when you attach it the first time. The procedure is very quick and easy using the built-in calibration boxes (see images above) and instructions. As long as you don't change the display/screen settings on your computer or viewer, you will not need to calibrate it again.
