"In March it announced a deal with Microsoft to build such a system. This could, over the course of a decade, cost a staggering $21.9bn."
Compared to the current AR/VR market, this is actually staggering.
The impact of the military cross fertilization to Microsoft's hololens efforts is actually going to be so significant.
Feel like this is a symbol of a trend on a number of fronts. Amazon's inept navigation of the US Government procurement process stands in stark contrast to the revenues Microsoft has gained from US government collaboration.
The military industrial complex is definitely going to influence a number of industries, AR is only one, in the coming decades. The US Government signing a few whopper contracts will tilt multiple industries.
