A system and method for dynamic formatting of a vehicle-based head-up display (HUD) provides a HUD including a combiner and graphics processor for generation of display data based on environmental information received from vehicle sensing systems (e.g., flight data collected by avionics systems). The HUD combiner is within the field of view (FOV) of a pilot, vehicle operator, or other user (e.g., partially or fully transparent) and provides the display data within the user's FOV. The HUD includes sensors for monitoring the eye reference point (ERP) distance between the combiner and the user's eyes or head. Based on changes in the ERP distance (e.g., when the user's eyes move relative to the combiner) the HUD reformats the display to ensure that any critical display data is visible to the user at their current ERP distance.
