The Reconfigurable Virtual Collective Trainer (RVCT) should be in the hands of US Army soldiers in March–April 2024, officials said on 24 July. Soldiers will participate in a final soldier touchpoint in August 2023 before an operational demo.
The Army is trying to mitigate "occlusion" problems for soldiers using Microsoft's high-priced augmented reality system to spawn (and then kill) virtual "enemies" behind real objects.
The U.S. Army is putting considerable resources and time into virtual-reality (VR), augmented-reality (AR), and mixed-reality (MR) equipment and training that is intended to make troops on the ground safer and better equipped.
