Does someone know if theres a codex entry for that? I cant really remember if they went into very much detail, but I would think there would be something about the Normandy's flight computer thing.

The holographic interface?
Yes, there's a codex entry.

Haptic display.
Advances in computing have done away with traditional input devices like keyboards. Instead, modern input peripherals are usually holographically displayed in front of the user at a height and angle for ergonomic ease. Machines that use this interface detect a user through a microframe chip in the user's glove that "keys in" to the computer. Once a user is accepted, motion accelerometers in the user's gloves match his hands' location with that of a proportionate but smaller "mirror" set of controls inside the computer itself. As the user presses against the holographic field, force-feedback in the glove kicks in, giving a slight resistance. A person can feel his way through using a touch-screen that isn't actually there. A simple toggle switch on the back of the hands allows the glove to be turned off when not in use.
Haptic interfaces have become so common that some individuals undergo cybernetic enhancement surgery to have the accelerometers implanted in their fingertips. "Going bareskin" is the sign of a committed computer user who no longer has to fuss with putting on gloves or cleaning them with alcohol wipes to get rid of the clammy-hand smell.

Thank you! I had no idea what it was called, so i didn't really know what to look for.

Not convinced that it's a good idea (any more than the touchscreens that seem to be plaguing us these days). For long periods of use you need to be able to rest your hands or writsts on something.

You also don't need surgical implants to be able to make use of one of these clacking plastic antiques.Not convinced that it's a good idea (any more than the touchscreens that seem to be plaguing us these days).
