RE: HUDs
The HUD is similar to the autocue system you see famous people talking through (ie the glass screen, which has the words reflected onto it). In the airliner case the crucial flight information is displayed a small glass screen. This is the same technology as is used for the HUGS or Head Up Guidance System (used exclusively for landing).
The latter is now more common, but I think that the HUD sysytem has been developed for a variety of ailriners, but is rarely factory fitted.

RE: HUDs
The purpose of a HUD is for the pilot to be able to read instrument date whilst looking straight ahead through the windshield.
I believe the MD-90/717 and the MD-11 had them, as did the Dornier 328. Not sure if they are available on other aircraft.
