Criticisms, according to the employee who dictated to Insider excerpts of this report, included that the device's glow from the display was visible from hundreds of meters away, which could give away the position of the wearer. Testers also found that the soldiers' field of view including peripheral vision is limited while the headset is on, and the bulk and weight of the device restricts a soldier's movement.
So the soldiers using it can't see their surroundings very well and the user is lit up like a Christmas tree. That's two major things you never want on military gear. It's a shame as having some kind of integrated tech to provide information on the ground immediately might provide a huge advantage.
"We (Microsoft) are going into the event expecting negative feedback from the customer," the employee wrote on in a memo to members of the company's military contract team, including AI and mixed reality general manager David Marra. "We expect soldier sentiment to continue to be negative as reliability improvements have been minimal from previous events."
Get woke, go broke because you're too fucking stupid to implement AR properly even for $22 Billion.
Probably none, but for 22B they should be using a laser diode to draw on the retina directly or some other sci-fi shit instead of just repurposing consumer tech.
Intel has talked up their independent visor system, and almost all the pancakes AR set ups are at prices only the military or places like construction sites would buy.

And they're too retarded to fix it:

Which company did implement AR properly?

Pancakes?

New lense type is much smaller because they push the needed parts together like pancakes.
Sounds like Storm Troopers.
Good point
