It seems to be a scope with a range finder that adjusts a virtual reticle as appropriate. It also has an electronic trigger system that probably prevents spoiled shots. While I wish everyone would stop being interested in developing weapons, I have to say this seems pretty innovative.<p>It seems like a step toward a system I've been worried about for a while. In this system, a big rifle would be mounted on/in a vehicle, like a van. A human would be watching a scene on a display. When the targets emerged from the building, the human would select and prioritize them similar to how people interact with games like Starcraft, and a CV system would begin tracking them. When the human hits "go", the computer system would make a shooting plan that it thinks maximizes the probability of achieving the goal, and would aim and fire the gun as appropriate. To me it seems possible that several people could be hit before they even hear the first reports.<p>Or more generally, human in charge of selection and prioritizing, CV system in charge of aiming and firing. I think it's not super crazy to think that someone might be sitting in an armored vehicle, steering the vehicle with WASD, tagging targets with a mouse.<p>Stuff like this sucks! But it seems inevitable because it'd be so effective.
