Minority Report UI For The Military

merryprankster writes "New Scientist is reporting that a 'Minority Report' style interface is being developed by defense company Raytheon. Users don a pair of reflective gloves and manipulate images projected on a panoramic screen. A mounted camera keeps track of hand movements and a computer interprets gestures. Raytheon has even employed John Underkoffler, the researcher who proposed the interface to the makers of the film. Now just wait till Billboards start scanning your iris."

    Big whoop... a crappy interface based off of an even worse movie staring Tom Cruise. Now, when they get the computer interface from swordfish (yay for writing virus' in CAD!) let me know.
