This is far more likely to be a drone/UAV than a fellow soldier in future combat scenarios. So the designation of "danger", while initially determined by a fellow soldier or in a "driven" UAV by a remote pilot, will move with the flight controls more and more to the drone itself.<br /><br />The large new information and judgement (target and danger designation) needs represented by these types of systems can only be met by automating the collection and analysis of the data (be it by the drone, or by a data-mining algorithm which looks at incidences of violence by area or building (as shown in the article)). Pervasive tech like this AR system acts as a driver (as both a subscriber and publisher of data)on the autonomous aspects of the socio-technical system they deploy in.Don Searinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895163122796799429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3436545355620692231.post-27546704402489216762010-06-25T08:48:46.267-07:002010-06-25T08:48:46.267-07:00The kinds of augmentation they are proposing looks...The kinds of augmentation they are proposing looks very similar to the "augmentation" in some video game titles which should be familiar to most, if not all of the soldiers that will deploy with this.<br /><br />Much as the "desktop" metaphor has shaped PC interaction, and the "multi-touch"/"gesture" metaphor is defining the mobile UI, I would think there would be a need to define the metaphor for augmented systems to provide some form of consistency across implementations.Don Searinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01895163122796799429noreply@blogger.com
