Microsoft, the military's mixed reality device VAT'I, Anduril industries announced that it will transfer the company to a defense company. Anduril industries, Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) on the Lattice platform by integrating with before In the $22 billion program Lattice is described as a system that allows soldiers to see threats in real time, eliminating signal processing delays between devices.
Palmer Luckey, Anduril Industries founder and designer of the Oculus Rift, explained his vision for the future of the IVAS program in a blog post.
