violates first amendment free speech rights. lawyers for gaming industry says it's similar to the past misguided efforts to protect children from comic books, music and movies. attorney for the state of california, however, argued they should be able to ban video games like they restrict sale of pornography. the supreme court justices seemed closely split when they heard the argument in november. some argue that parents need help to protect children from violent games. others seem reluctant to carve out an exception to the first amendment. they waited to the last minute to decide this is the last day of their session. more than 46 million american households have at least one video game system. the industry pulled down around $18 billion last year. so a lot at stake today. what do you think? weigh in on the abc7 facebook page, from the twitter account. i'd love to hear your thoughts. live in the newsroom, amy hollyfield, abc7 news.

problem-free. for the latest traffic go to abc7news.com. click on the bay area traffic link. eric? >> all right, thank you. 4:53. nearly every week you hear about a drone missile attack somewhere in the world. well, despite the success of missile carrying drone aircrafts, the next generation of fighter plane will still need a pilot. the pilot will still need to be able to quickly find and process information. so south bay company is helping them do that. just by putting on their helmet. ♪ ♪ >> 25 years ago when the f-14 fighter and tom cruise's haircut was state-of-the-art, everything maverick needed to know was projected on the cockpit, dash-mounted heads-up display. it was very useful, but you had to be looking straight ahead. flash forward to today. when for the first time in decades, the pentagon's

newest fighter won't even have a heads-up display. >> today's pilot has an information center. within the cockpit. and what we do is we now make that information flow directly to the pilot's eyes, so never has to look inside. >> san jose-based vision systems international has made helmet-mounted information centers for 15 years. the one i'm wearing is for the navy current f-18 hornet fighter. looking through it, you can turn your head in any direction with key information like altitude, air speed and radar tracking projected right on the visor. but this helmet for the f-35 fighter is a quantum leap ahead. >> he can pull up his radar image, he can pull up the electric optical information and freeze it in different point in space. >> translated to english, do you remember the computer in the "minority report," where cops could grab images with

their hands, move them around, freeze them and come back to them? with the helmet, the pilot can do much the same with his eyes, including watching on to the enemy fighter and firing a missile. he can data link with other aircraft to see what they are looking at. >> you would have loved to have one of these? >> yeah, i would have. i'm quite envious of guys flying today. >> the system costs $140,000. since the air force, navy and marine corps are all buying the airplane, that could mean significant numbers sold. but the success of unmanned drone aircraft point to a future with few and maybe no manned fighters. >> everybody says i have to revive, going to be the last manned fighter aircraft, for the foreseeable future. we have applications for helmets for even drone use. >> so a helmet for drone operators would still operate much in the same manner. the operator would be able to scan the skies for hundreds of miles around, just by looking at the visor. since the drones, remote

control, the operator wearing that helmet won't especially have to be on the same continent. that's how far technology has come. >> wow! do you know what is the single biggest energy hog in your home? a new report by the natural resources defense council finds set-top cable boxes consume more power than a new refrigerator even. the study found the boxes consumed $3 billion in electricity per year. and 66% of that power is wasted when nobody is watching. or shows are not being recorded. the bigger problem is the boxes are perpetually powered on and no u.s. company has developed a stand-by mode to reduce electricity consumption. now to a shark caught on tape by accident. the photographer standing in the waters of new smyrna beach north of orlando, videotaping surfers when another surfer said dude, did you see that? the photographer had no idea what he was talking about. when he got back to the office, though, look at

that? a shark jumps right over a surfer. he saw that when he got back to the office and had the reaction we did. holy cow! >> you don't see that a lot. >> you don't see the jump and miss. >> yeah. >> they wanted dipper. next on abc7 news at 5:00 -- thousands celebrate gay pride in san francisco. >> search for clues, trying to determine why an amtrak train collided with a truck on friday. >> should the government restrict who should buy video games? i'm amy hollyfield live in the newsroom. a big decision is coming today from the u.s. supreme court. i'll tell you all about it up next.
