TrackingPoint Lets You Shoot From Around Corners

TrackingPoint, the company that has developed a new smart rifle for the U.S. Army which is capable of doing the aiming on your behalf, now has another ally as part of the setup – Google Glass. Yes sir, you can now hit your target in style, with this precision guided firearm more or less guaranteed to hit your target every single time, having augmented the firearm with the ability to shoot your target from around the corner, thanks to its collaboration with Google Glass.

This new innovation is known as Shotview, where it will hook up your smart firearm’s sight to a compatible smartphone, tablet or Google Glass. As you work through your headset and sight, whatever you see will be streamed in real time, now how about that? In order to check out your smart rifle’s point of view, choose your scope as your Wi-Fi server, before you boot up the Shotview app, where doing so would enable you to check out whatever your rifle’s barrel is pointed at.

It will take some getting used to the situation of course, but with a little bit of practice, you can then take aim from around corners or behind cover without sacrificing on accuracy.
