Personal note: this reminds me of the discussions I had with Navy pilots/aviation engineers about experiments the military did for other non tactical interfaces.  Everything from voice activated to early eye tracking to nerve interfaces. They all had some advantages, but for simplicity, quickness, and lack of error, nothing could beat stick & button controls on a warplane.
