About Star Citizen
Star Citizen is Chris Roberts' crowdfunded space simulation, and its interface — the in-fiction mobiGlas and ship HUD — is a study in disciplined holographic design. Glassy translucent panels float over a deep-black void, rendered in a precise palette of holographic cyan, cool light-cyan readouts, and dark panel blues.
The aesthetic is near-aerospace: thin geometric sans, angular glass frames, bracket corners, and status chips. Orange is held in strict reserve for alerts and warnings, keeping the cool blue HUD calm and legible against the dark of space.
