Mark Zuckerberg Enters Military World! Meta VR Technology Used By American Soldiers!
JAKARTA - Meta, a technology company widely known through Facebook and Instagram, is now preparing to enter the military realm. Through collaboration with Anduril Industries 'defense company founded by Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus 'Meta will develop Virtual Reality (VR)-based helmet and wearable (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technology for the United States Army. The project is known as EagleEye.
The move marks a major shift for Meta, from its main focus on the metaverse and social media towards advanced defense technology.
In the EagleEye, Meta and Anduril project will create military wearable helmets, glasses and devices that are not only formidable on the battlefield, but also equipped with advanced sensors and artificial intelligence (AI). The device is designed to provide AR and VR experiences to soldiers, who can improve training to combat missions in the real world.
Imagine soldiers who use special glasses that can display live data on the ground, or receive realistic real-time combat simulations. In addition, this device is said to be able to strengthen the hearing and vision of soldiers 'detecting drones or hidden enemies invisible to ordinary eyes.
Anduril is known as an AI-based autonomous weapon system developer. By combining Anduril's military hardware and Meta-made intelligence, both aim to create an integrated defense system that can change the way soldiers are trained and fighting.

This AI will enable direct interaction with autonomous weapons systems, increasing efficiency and response on the battlefield. This collaboration shows how VR, AR, and AI can unite to create more adaptive and futuristic military technology solutions.
This partnership also shows a new trend among big tech companies. After previously moving more in the consumer sector, now Meta seems to be following in the footsteps of companies like Google, which recently revised its AI policy in order to contribute to the defense industry.
With this transformation, Meta shows that technology that was once created for entertainment or social media can have a real impact in the military world, both in training, protection, and operational strategies.
Will we soon see future soldiers with Meta-made AR helmets and intelligent autonomous weapons from Anduril? The world of technology seems to be heading there.
