Anduril, the military technology company founded by Oculus creator Palmer Luckey, announced the first hardware from its recent partnership with Meta: EagleEye, an AI-powered mixed reality (MR) system designed to be integrated into soldiers’ headsets.
The modular hardware is a “family of systems,” according to Anduril’s announcement, including a heads-up display, spatial audio, and radio frequency sensing. It can display briefings and mission orders, overlay maps and other information during combat, and control military drones and robots.
“We don’t want to give the military a new tool: we give them a new teammate,” Luckey explains. “The idea of an AI partner integrated into your screen has been imagined for decades. EagleEye is the first time this has become real.”
“I’m happy to work with Meta again,” Luckey said in a blog post at the time. “My mission has long been to turn fighters into technomancers, and the products we build with Meta do just that.”
