Someone asked: Will Microsoft's Hololens be seen as fighting five slags (a slag with a combat effectiveness of only 5)?
Because Microsoft once mentioned that the use of HoloLens in outdoor environments is much more difficult than indoor use. Because light can have a detrimental impact on use, and outdoor use of online communications software (such as Skype) can also involve security and confidentiality issues.
This question is just as difficult to answer as "What is the true fighting power of the Super Saiyan?"
We know that the Super Saiyan is very capable of fighting, but it is difficult to figure out whether it has millions or hundreds of millions of combat power. We all know that Microsoft's Hololelns is awesome, but it is used in military combat. Strong?
Before the military started to use Hololen, let's take a look at how Microsoft itself describes Hololens being used in the military system. Mondo summed up Microsoft's words as two points:
1. Superimpose digital maps on the actual battlefield.
2. Design and maintenance of military equipment.
Before, Microsoft had always been secretive about cooperation with the military. We couldn't use actual examples to show that the two points it mentioned were used. How effective is that?
But now, after the mysterious Israeli military purchased two Hololens silently, they actually disclosed their feedback.
In response to the first point mentioned above, Major Rotem Bashi, commander of the project planning department of the Israeli military headquarters, gave good user feedback.
Major Bach’s team has a group of technology developers who developed an application for the commander within a month of receiving Hololens. They are mainly used to set up different military terrain models and monitor the military.
It is said that they have already done so by superimposing military maps on the real terrain transmitted by satellites. This is what Microsoft said to superimpose digital maps on the actual battlefield!
However, as said at the beginning, the current Hololens is to be used for military purposes. It is also inseparable from the office and command center.
The key reason is that Hololens uses SLAM (Real-Time Positioning and Map Building) technology based on depth recognition. Simply put, the current SLAM needs to scan and measure the environment. In this process, the larger the range, the slower the refresh rate. In such circumstances, the use of soldiers in the process of moving will be greatly limited.
Therefore, the original Morodoo thought that the current application of this piece of the battlefield, the line of communication is in a relatively fixed scene of military applications. Refer to the promotional video of "Halo Wars 2".
But don't forget Hololens is a completely independent holographic computer! In addition to SLAM, it has a lot of expandable features. The military can personally customize the GPS module to Microsoft, or use GIS (Geographical Information System) to understand geographic terrain very precisely. Without using SLAM, Hololens can also fight outdoors even if it is outside.
For the second point - Hololens is used in the design, maintenance of military equipment, the Israeli military did not disclose the application in this area. However, there are many examples of AR technology used in industrial design and maintenance equipment. It has also been proven to be very effective. (For details, see the article: Pokémon Go Fire, these three companies are deep-seated AR, you must know!)
At this point, in addition to the two points mentioned by Moratoro, "rapid deployment" is also a major advantage of Hololens.
In general, the military needs to introduce a new application or deploy a new technology, which generally takes two years to brewing. This time, the Israeli army's introduction of HoloLens took only less than a month, which was a big step forward.
Hololens brings the greatest military effect not only to those specific applications, but also to accelerators that can greatly increase work efficiency and allow users to develop themselves. Second, it is practical application.
