Israel’s Ministry of Defense Is Developing Smart Glasses for Soldiers

An interesting article in CNNTech:<br><br>The Israeli military is developing augmented reality, “smart” glasses designed to give soldiers an upper hand on the battlefield.<br><br>The Israeli Ministry of Defense, which is collaborating on the technology with Elbit Systems, confirmed the development on Tuesday. The ministry released a video demonstrating how the glasses are expected to function.<br><br>The system, dubbed “SpiiCE,” is designed to enhance a soldier’s understanding of his surroundings. The glasses are equipped with a display system that shows a soldier critical information such as maps, enemy fire, and even medical information about an injured colleague.<br><br>For instance, the display can show a soldier the location of a fellow soldier who is injured nearby. Additionally, the technology is designed to help a soldier find a wounded comrade by pointing out the direction he should head in to get to the injured soldier. The video released by the ministry showed a medic using the glasses to locate a wounded soldier.<br><br>For even more medical uses, the smart glasses come equipped with an option to scan a code on military first aid equipment to get instructions on how to treat a soldier’s wounds, including information on how to give CPR and how to stop bleeding.<br><br>We can’t wait to see these in action, and we’re sure the IDF will continue to come up with new, clever ways to use this technology.<br><br>The post Israel’s Ministry of Defense Is Developing Smart Glasses for Soldiers appeared first on The Yeshiva World.
