 nvidia claims that"This is more than just the tale of how our SHIELD gaming portable has a shot at a field promotion. It’s also a story about how a generation that grew up with digital tools is redefining the U.S. Navy. And they’re steering the world’s most advanced warships towards the lightweight, low-cost gear they’re already comfortable with.  " .

Personally IMO this is awesome. Something familiar and comfortable to these people is something rare that they get to use.

That's kinda like using any other game controller to control something other games, i.e. wii controller to control raspi robot.  Not that special.  Final thoughts verdict: meh.

Neat

I think it's cool that they can use game controllers to control their stuff. I've seen a picture of a guy using a 360 controller to control some sort of bomb defusing robot. A Shield controlling a submarine is pretty cool too. Especially if they have it setup to show relevant data or cameras on the screen.
