This is fliippinng siickk... Read some of this...
Iowa State University researchers further blurred the line between wartime operations and video games this week when they revealed a "next generation control interface" for military UAVs. The $4.2 million system, currently under development at the university's Virtual Reality Applications Center, will provide ground control UAV stations with views of the drones, the surrounding terrain, and overall battlefield. If the program sees complete success, it will allow a single operator to control multiple UAVs, and monitor each of their on board instruments, cameras and, naturally, weapons. The system does this using a combination of eye-tracking, voice control and interactive large screen displays—in other words, the kind of rig many uber geeks already use to play an online FPS.
Okay, so, basiclly what this all means is that wars are going to be a humoggouuss RTS game... LOL, i can totally imagine a bunch of generals n stuff, from different countries, sitting in a room in front of a comptuer playin a kick ass LAN game that will decide the fate of millions of people.. Imagine what would happen if one of the guys got a Blue Screen of Death!! HAHAHA... This is like given me a really good reason to join the military..
What is the world comming to?
