...well maybe not. I think I'll have to settle for "great minds think
alike". Spoilers for jms' neato never-seen-before CGI stuff in Rangers,
taken from an interview with Cinescape:

"weapons systems - 'When the ship is under attack, [Sirois] drops into a
gunnery pod, which is a three-dimensional holographic representation of
space, and actually becomes the ship,' says Straczynski. 'Instead of the
usual, 'There's a ship, fire!' and pushing a button, where she points,
the ship fires.'"

I swear, I had the same idea I had when I was thinking of how
battle-scenes involving computer aimed weapons could be made more
personal and involving. Though, I had the person cybernetically linked
to the computer instead of having their physical body do all work...
