Bruce Westcoat, salesman with Microvision, demonstrates how you can see through the Nomad helmet-mounted display and still see the surrounding area without closing an eye. Right, a soldier can see other soldiers walking in an area to his left, yet he can also see a person standing directly in front of him with the Nomad device.

How long until the gun is tracking with the tank commanders eyes ? That's old Apache technology that could be brought into play with the tank commander literally guiding the weapon with his eyes.
OF course a magnify function would be pretty handy to put the round right on target.

The latest, from Microvision Inc., is the Nomad Helmet-Mounted Display, currently being used by the Stryker Brigade in Iraq."Something for the next democRAT administration to give away to our declared enemies for a campaign contribution. (Wish it WAS sarcasm!)

Exhibits ranged anywhere from the latest in weaponry to enhanced vehicle armor to waterproof socks. Maybe I've been a grunt for too long already, but of the items on that list, the only one I get excited about is the waterproof socks...
