12. HoloLens for Soldiers
Since 2018, Microsoft has been collaborating with the US Army to develop a virtual reality training device that combines real-world scenarios and augmented reality with machine learning technology. The training exercises are based on data collected from thousands of hours of actual combat experiences.
The HoloLens-based headsets for soldiers have undergone testing by the military over the past two years and have proven to be very helpful, or at least that’s what the military thought. Microsoft has been awarded a contract to supply the US Army with 120,000 units, potentially earning the company $21.88 billion over the next decade.
