...which is its advantage. I doesn't take up your full viewing space, but puts the information right in front of you.

That's no advantage at all. A real AR HUD wouldn't need to 'take up your full viewing space' but could place information where it was relevant.
What I meant by that was that it doesn't put itself into your line of sight, but when you do want it, it is (very) easily accessible.
That's true, but it's not an advantage that it's not a true HUD, since a true HUD could place the information out of your line of sight or within it as appropriate, whereas Glass cannot.
