>> Speaking of Palmer, uh, massive news out of Ander today.
0:05
Uh, Jen Buchcci shares fit check and shows an insane design for an augmented reality virtual reality for the war fighter. I believe it is. Um, >> wow.
0:17
>> Reggie James comments.
0:17
He says, "I for one love that national defense and intelligence are just founders fund incubation projects."
0:24
Um, and had the full story.
0:27
Uh they said super powers for superheroes.
0:29
Today they are unveiling Eagle-Eye, the family of war fighter augments that place mission command and AI directly into the operator's helmet. Very cool.
0:38
The lineage of this program is wild.
0:43
Microsoft is working on it for a while.
0:45
And got the contract uh but still >> they do full page print ad in the journal for this.
0:52
>> Would they or did they? >> They already did. >> They did. Fantastic. Pull it up.
0:53
Uh, and Garcia Capital says, "This isn't a Call of Duty screenshot.
0:57
This is Ander's eagle eye."
0:59
Palmer's been on record saying that he thinks that the war fighter uh will be adopting virtual reality headsets or AR headsets before the consumer because weight, cost, and you can just mandate, hey, you got to wear this thing to do your job.
1:13
Well, and you can say we're going to spend $50,000 on each headset versus Meta being, you know, in a position where they need to make a headset for like >> 300 bucks.
1:25
>> 300 they can sell for 800 or they're probably losing money. I don't know. >> Yep. Yep.
1:29
So, the willingness to pay to save a life on the battlefield is way higher than watch a movie or play a game. Yeah.
1:35
>> What do you think of that new headset, Tyler? >> They're so sick.
1:36
How do we I mean, >> how do we get one?
1:39
>> We got to get one of these. >> How do we get a demo?
1:40
I'm looking through like that they've posted some other images of what it looks like and it's like it just looks like Call of Duty.
1:45
Like there's a mini map >> and then when you have a gun, it shows like where it's like aiming at. >> That's crazy. It's >> sick.
1:52
>> It's really like Yeah, Call of Duty Infinite Warfare is now here.
1:54
Uh very excited to see more demos of this as it rolls out.
1:58
Uh congratulations to the entire Anderal team on the progress.
2:00
Um the uh yeah, the lineage there is is fascinating.
2:05
And I always had this thesis that like that like Polymer and and Android was like the perfect company to do this project.
2:11
Uh originally called IVAS.
2:14
Uh and Ivas was kind of languishing within Microsoft for a number of years and it made sense that Palmer has the VR.
2:21
>> Are they getting like a paid like a billion dollars a year?
2:23
It was some massive contract that was getting >> Yeah. Yeah.
2:27
I think it was like a 10 something billion dollar product or project or scope of work, but I don't know how much they'd actually drawn down on that because I don't know how much they'd actually delivered against the contract.
2:39
Um, there was still a lot of value to be paid if you could deliver, but Microsoft, I think, wasn't quite delivering.
2:46
And so, uh, Andrew bought the contract or or acquired the contract or merged the contract in and then now is running at it much harder.
2:53
And uh I mean it seems like a really really uh solid progress which is exciting. [Music]
