There are dual chat interfaces: you can access the group chat through the HUD and also through the mobiGlass. What are some of the virtues there? A couple of questions in the live chat say it seems kind of redundant.
Calix Reneau · Systems Designer

It is redundant. I mean, explicitly, that's a redundancy. MobiGlass is the Spectrum integration side of it. It's meant to be where you do any management of your channels, management of your contacts. All the stuff that used to be the F11, hold, right, alt, F, tab, all of that fun interaction is all trying to be folded into mobiGlass, for one because that makes it discoverable to new players. If you know how to access mobiGlass, then you can just find this, as opposed to needing to know what the interaction is to turn on or off your visor chat. Additionally, when we start doing more stuff about the channels that you can have, including these chat lobbies that are on Spectrum, you'll be able to select which of those things will be displayed on your visor and which of those things you are chatting to, or that you're active on, when you do the shortcut chat. But you're not going to get that level of configurability on the visor, because the visor is explicitly built to not be interactive in that way.

Jared Huckaby · Host, Community

Minimalistic. It's kind of like the mobiGlass is your iPhone and the visor HUD is your Apple Watch. You get all your communications on your phone, your web browsing, your emails, your text messaging, and then you set up which ones actually buzz you on your watch, where it's easier to see.
