Remote controlled helicopters and Xbox 360 controllers
Soldiers in the military are now using Xbox 360 controllers to aim rifles mounted on remote controlled helicopters. One commenter poignantly states, “Linking an actual weapon to a common entertainment system may in some people’s minds make combat less personable,” while another points out that harnessing cheap civilian technology to takes soldiers out of harm’s way is a good thing. Naturally, everyone has an opinion, as the gap between gaming and IRL-warfare continues to narrow.
