Funny that this is coming now as the new Administration and their desire for transparency is kicking in. Why wasn't this released to the Public when the Document was issued in 2020? I knew then apart from all the "claims" about IVAS and what the device could "accomplish" there was a Poisoned Chalice waiting for anyone who used it. But keep pumping it IVAS pumpers, Porter, Stoppedout and Zielier...If this was widely known at the time and I was the only one saying it after what I learned at the last Pre-Covid AUSA the Program would have ended then. The White Paper mentions David Marra (Head of Mixed Reality at Palantir and now at Rivet) as well who said on "X" that Kopin never had anything to do with IVAS.

The originally optimistic relationship between Microsoft and the U.S. Army and Congress largely soured as a result of ongoing complications with the technology, including the severe headaches common amongst its users. As noted on pages 115 to 117 of a Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI) version of the U.S. Army Director of Test & Evaluation’s 2021 annual report, which was originally published by the nonprofit Project On Government Oversight (POGO), “hardware discomfort still leads to headaches, nausea, pressure on the face, and neck strain.” The report further noted that: “Soldiers continue to lack confidence in their ability to complete the most essential warfighting functions effectively and safely while wearing the IVAS in all mission scenarios.”
