New Device Will Give Soldiers Eyes in the Back of Their Head - Technology News by ExtremeTech

See original at Technology News by ExtremeTech:

"DARPA is developing a new technology that will give soldiers a super human view of the battlefield—and not just from multiple angles, but from every angle. The new high tech vision works via glasses connected to soldiers' headgear that will give the viewer the power of zoom vision; night vision; and, more spectacularly, 'full sphere awareness' of everything around them. To achieve the 360 vantage point, the glasses will combine images from various cameras connected around the soldier's head gear. And for an added ability, the images can be combined with data from fellow soldiers as well as from aerial drones to give a single soldier a real-time 3D map of their surroundings. A true god's-eye-view of the combat zone."
