Patrol Mars Laser Scanner proto testing

The communication laser is one of the main tools Patrol Mars. The active laser scanner will let you upload and download information from and to items in the game. It will also be the tool for general interaction - think of it similar to opening a doors, pushing buttons etc. in first person games. It is eye tracked laser and it is activated with the trigger. If the active beam points at an object with ability to interact data will be sent back and forth. I already have a system, but not UI, for storing the received content into logs etc. The communication system also has a authorization mechanism. When I communicate with an entity that is not "public", the entity will send me a request key and if I have matching secret key in my possession it will be sent back. If they are a match at the entity end I can read the data. The in-game system actually does this back and forth dance - felt like a logical way to do it.
