According to an Insider report, Microsoft's tech failed spectacularly when the US military tried it out.
A source at Microsoft said that the Army's Integrated visual augmented system failed four out of six evaluation events.
The results of a $22 billion contract are not good.
The goggles had some fatal flaws, according to the soldiers.
One of the headset's testers said in an excerpt of an Army report dictated to Insider that the devices would have gotten us killed because they would turn wearers into glowing enemy targets.
The report found that the device was uncomfortable and heavy, limiting their movement, and even cutting off their peripheral vision.
The Army insists that the devices were a success.
The program achieved success in most of the Army evaluation criteria according to the results emerging from the program.
The Army will address areas where IVAS fell short because of the results.
Most of us have had bad experiences with buyer's remorse. Most impulse buys cost less than a billion dollars.
We won't hold our breath, but we hope that Microsoft and the military can figure it out.
The devices would have been used to kill us. According to an Army report, Microsoft's military smart goggles failed four of six elements.
