Military Grade Augmented Reality

A Chicago-based company called Tanagram Partners is currently developing military grade augmented reality technology that – if developed to the full potential of its prototypes – would completely change the face of military combat as we know it.

As futuristic and far-fetched as this seems, approved Tanagram is actually in the process of building this technology right now. The company is funded by a grant from DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), and plans on having a working proof-of-concept that runs on an iPhone by the first quarter of next year. Tanagram also hopes to have the server/client system operational as early as Q2 2011 as well as an open source head-mounted display (HMD) client by the end of next year. – [source]
