Touch and Go: COMET Project Brings Multitouch Technology to the Military

摘要

Known as Command and Control Multitouch Enabled Technology (COMET), the effort aims to make face-to-face collaboration more productive and interactive. Unlike the paper maps, acetate layers, and sand tables currently used for wargaming and other group activities, COMET can record and save information for future analysis and after-action reviews. It can also synch data feeds and changes in real time with other military systems, enhancing existing capabilities rather than replacing them.
