Microsoft’s headache-inducing Army goggles delayed for at least two years


The latest goggles is slimmer and lighter and designed ‘to greatly improve soldier comfort’. — Microsoft

An improved model of Microsoft Corp’s goggles won’t be deployed to US Army combat troops for at least two years because the company must first demonstrate it has fixed flaws that left soldiers with headaches, nausea and eyestrain, according to the Army.

If the goggle passes its tests, a version will be fielded starting in July 2025, the Army said in a statement. The latest version is slimmer and lighter and is designed “to greatly improve soldier comfort,” Microsoft said in a statement. Software improvements are also intended to result in greater reliability and reduced power demand.
