Added the first paragraph about seat height, answering the question more directly. This answer addresses the issue of parallax well, but due to to no mention of seat height it was not the best answer.

Parallax compensation on a telescopic sight (a scope) works differently, if it's there at all - many scopes have no parallax compensation. | |

| Sep 20, 2019 at 20:43 | comment | added | Wayne Conrad | The HUD's behavior is the same as that of a rifle scope: If you move your eye off center, that does not shift where the reticle is with respect to the target, but the target starts to move out of your field of view. That makes me wonder if a similar principle is at play in a rifle scope as in a HUD (making the light rays be parallel). Nice answer. | |
