NOTE: A search for this patent says: United States Patent: 7484451: Withdrawn!
IBM has filed for a patent on technology that heightens our reflexes so that we could, theoretically, dodge bullets like Neo in The Matrix.
This "Bionic Body Armor" would continuously scan the area for incoming projectiles. If one is detected, the system would deliver a shock to the muscles causing a swift, reflexive action away from the bullet.
"The present invention relates generally to the protection of an individual against a projectile propelled from a firearm. More particularly, the present invention relates to a body armor system and its method of use that is capable of detecting a projectile propelled from a firearm, computing the trajectory of the projectile, and moving the individual out of the path of the projectile to avoid being hit."Source
