| Interesting AI | | Andurilās EagleEye helmet gives soldiers superhuman senses, and itās mind-blowing what this thing can do. | Instead of bulky night vision goggles yanking on the neck, the optics sit inside the helmet with lightweight swappable glasses for day, night, or augmented reality. The ear flaps? They amplify distant conversations and pinpoint gunshots on the display. | The AI pulls feeds from drones, teammates, and onboard cameras to build a 3D view over 200° wide, so that soldiers can see around corners and behind cover. It even knows where a rifle is pointing and guides the soldier toward targets. Plus it picks up radio signals and laser locks in the area. | |
