Meta Platforms is collaborating with military technology start-up Anduril Industries to develop AI and augmented reality products for providing real-time battlefield intelligence to soldiers.
The partnership reunites Palmer Luckey, co-founder of Anduril, with Meta, which had acquired his previous gaming company Oculus VR in 2014.
The collaboration plans to work on products like a 'sci-fi-style military helmet,' called 'Eagle Eye,' and a successor to the HoloLens for the military.
Anduril took over a Pentagon contract from Microsoft in February for developing a military headset, aiming to enhance soldiers' experience in the field with advanced technology.
