I was trawling Flickr for some images for a project and ran across this funny picture. It is clearly a solution for bad glare on the screen.
Update, it is clearly technology appropriated from the 23nd century…see below (thanks Steve for pointing it out):

Wonder if it’s also a security issue; no one can see what’s on the screen.
Whenever I’ve seen those I’m reminded of Star Trek – http://www.startrek.com/imageuploads/200303/tos-066-spock-at-his-station-t/320×240.jpg
Good call on the security issue (and the Trek connection)
I hope it’s adjustable so that short or tall people can use it!
Do you mean like the buttons that supposedly match up with screen choices? They are always mis-aligned for me. I often choose the wrong option because they mis-align so badly.
