Military Uses for Augmented Reality Connect Commander and Soldier
It’s not difficult to see the inspiration of the popular movie, Minority Report, in the new project BAE Systems and academics at Birmingham University unveiled to the media and described in this MailOnline feature length article and this article on Engineering & Technology magazine blog. The prototype for the system, which resembles Microsoft Hololens in many respects, is said to be operating and use cases under evaluation. It may be possible for enterprise and industrial users to benefit from such technology at the same time or even prior to the military users because, in contrast with soldiers in the field, in enterprise AR many of the user’s environmental conditions, as well as their location and tools, can be tightly controlled.
