Elon Musk Wants to Build the Iron Man Hologram UI For Real, Gizmodo
“The hologram interfaces Tony Stark uses in Iron Man are awesome, no doubt. But they also aren’t real. Yet. Elon Musk has been cooking up something very Stark-y, and he’s planning to show it off soon. Musk isn’t sharing any of the nitty-gritty details yet, but he mentioned his grand scheme on Twitter. This better not be a joke.”

    That is all nice and dandy but how about the Dragon launch schedule slipping yet again.

      What does that have to do with a computer interface design? You were just looking to take a dig at SpaceX while hiding behind a fake name.

      If this capability can be made real and practicle. then SpaceX would likely be one of the first, perhaps the first, to use it in actual component prototyping and/or product part manufacturing. So, I would say it is relevant to maintaining and perhaps improving SpaceX schedules.

      The upcoming Dragon launch was pushed by NASA in order to give its slot to Orbital for their first cargo flight.

      To keep the record straight, I recall reading Iron man Comics books most Likely before Elon Musk was even born.
