Is that image for real?
It looks like someone went in photoshop and filtered for emboss->edge detection and sepia
There’s a video at the link. Doesn’t look like any video game I’m familiar with.
And then added the “plastic wrap” filter for kicks.
The Army Acquisition Support Center article (link in the Popular Mechanics article) reports that this is actually a fused night vision and thermal imaging device. So the user is already in a video vs enhanced direct view situation. With advances in CPU technology, adding post-imaging edge enhancement is a logical next step.
With the emphasis on wireless linking, questions arise:
1. Anti-jamming/hacking protections
2. Software update management
3. Electronic signature (emission) management/masking
The wireless employment mirrors current civil-side Bluetooth practice and certainly enhances mobility. However, there may be situations where being physically connected may be necessary/advantageous. Probably not that often, but I hope the developers retained it as a user option.
