Microsoft secures $29b deal making augmented reality headsets for US Army – Sydney Morning Herald
Microsoft won a nearly $US22 billion contract to supply US Army combat troops with its augmented reality headsets.
A group of Microsoft workers in 2019 petitioned the company to cancel its initial Army deal, arguing it would turn real-world battlefields into a video game.
Microsoft is among several tech companies that have sought to wow the gaming world with glitzy new virtual reality goggles over the past decade, though the efforts have largely fizzled. Microsoft pivoted away from consumer applications for its second-generation HoloLens 2, introduced in 2019, which is the basis for the Armys new gadgets.
