Elon Musk shows off Iron Man-style rocket design with gestures and 3D printing (video)

Elon Musk shows off Iron Manstyle design, from gestures to 3D printed rocket parts video

Once again confirming Elon Musk is living life differently from the rest of us, he's just posted a new SpaceX video that's straight out of a sci-fi movie. In it, he demonstrates designing parts for a rocket the company could use just with hand gestures using a Leap Motion controller. After that, we move to a 3D projection of the part, free standing glass projection just like Iron Man, and even an implementation with the Oculus Rift headset. Other than just watching a billionaire play with the latest tech toys, it does give a peek at what's possible with technology that's now available to a growing number of people.
