While Microsoft is committed to IVAS, it appears the U.S. Army may have some hesitations.
That is, unless Microsoft can lower the cost of individual IVAS units.
The U.S. Army wants Microsoft to reduce the per-unit cost of IVAS militarized augmented reality headsets.
That figure is the current projected cost of an individual IVAS unit.
The headsets also include night vision and are much more durable than commercial or enterprise augmented reality systems.
