That is really interesting.Everyone shocked that Microsoft and ML are in on the bidding to develop an HMD that could be used service-wide in any environment...

light-dark, cold-hot, wet-dry that performed with any mission demand that could eventuate. It's plausible to think that if small Army Research Lab, smaller Chosen Decisions say linked up with giants you could interpose their proven ability to develop the concept and the proof with the facility and deep pockets of these titans. Perfect cross-fertilization in way. We've always known that the military would do this right and first, necessity being the Mother of Invention (not Zappa). Now the military is talking COTS and private sector and nimbleness. It makes PERFECT sense this would be the way they go. Nett Warrior was shitcanned years ago and now I believe we are seeing what is coming in Augmented Reality, TAR in the military and something similar for civilian use. Maybe Hololens 3 and ML2/3. Fascinating. Thank you Jim for making that connection. Food for thought.
