Microsoft wins $21.9B contract with U.S. Army to supply AR headsets
I don't look like a hippie, but I totally subscribe to the idea of "make love, not war".<p>I imagine what the possibilities would be if we funded general non-military projects with the kind of money that goes into the military.<p>Trillions have been spent on wars or war preparation, and of course the net result is worsening for humanity.  What if instead that money were spend on helping humanity?<p>Do we really need a conflict to be willing to stand behind an expense?<p>Now in the case of AR, most of our lives are not lacking because we don't have AR headsets.  But there are a lot of workplace (and entertainment) situations where good AR headsets would be beneficial or simply fun.  Wouldn't it be great if that were a technology funded for the general benefit of all people?
