Battlefield Metaverse…” It’s kind of a scary and exciting word to hear, isn’t it?
The “battlefield metaverse,” a fusion of XR and AI, offers soldiers an augmented reality experience that eliminates the boundaries between physical and data space.
This suggests the arrival of an era in which AI is not just a tool, but a companion, fighting together as friends.
It will be interesting to see future regulations and trends in various countries.

Palmer Luckey and his team founded this defense tech company in 2017.
This Palmer Luckey is the founder of Oculus VR, which he famously sold to Facebook (Meta).
Come to think of it, Meta provides various other services to the defense industry.

Meta (formerly Facebook) is involved in military and defense-related projects outside of the XR field.
In recent years, its scope has expanded to include AI, telecommunications, and government collaboration, and it is increasing its presence in the new composition of “private tech x national defense.

Palmer’s vision for the EagleEye headset is that it will enable soldiers to see where their allies, enemies, and non-combatants are, whether they are wearing it over a wall like Superman on the battlefield, or just by heat detection, at night, or in fog, and it will also augment their hearing. In addition, the game-like UI allows the user to see the exact location of bullets, maps, briefings, and all other information while operating.
What if police officers use similar technology in the future? What if cops use the same technology in the future?

I hope that the technology in the UI, if accelerated, will help soldiers in the direction of ethical decision support, unnecessary damage control, and transparency in their activities.
