Over 80% of soldiers reported feeling nauseous, getting headaches, and suffering eyestrain while testing the augmented reality goggles.
Army brass has also reportedly warned that the HoloLens emits a glow that could give away a soldier’s position on the battlefield. It also limits a soldier’s field of view and is too bulky for easy transport, according to the report.
One soldier who used the goggles during a “recent” field test reportedly said: “The devices would have gotten us killed.” Soldiers don a prototype of the U.S. Army’s Integrated Visual Augmentation System and wield a Squad immersive Virtual Trainer during a training environment test event.The Defense Department handed Microsoft a 10-year, $21.88 billion contract for the gear in March.
The Defense Department handed Microsoft a 10-year, $21.88 billion contract for the gear in March, but has put its initial order for 5,000 headsets on hold to allow Microsoft to “correct deficiencies.” “The system is still experiencing too many failures of essential functions,” said Nickolas Guertin, the testing director for the DoD, in a summary of the product’s initial tests. Dubbed the Integrated Visual Augmentation System by the Department of Defense, the AR headsets are supposed to let commanders project information onto a visor in front of a soldier’s face. They would also provide night vision and “heightened situational awareness,” according to Microsoft.
