If I remember right I believe there are some examples in this archive:
ftp://sgigate.sgi.com/pub/Performer

I remember a HUD example being there. I can't get into the sight because
of some kind of proxy failure (whatever that is), you might be able to.

Also, there is an entry in the Performer FAQ:
http://www.sgi.com/software/performer/faq.html

Then there are the archives.
