And so for years, Palmer was telling the Pentagon, man, I don't know that it's there from a technology perspective.

I don't know that I would trust the modern versions of augmented and virtual reality to put it on the heads of a soldier that's putting their lives at risk.

He got to the point within the last 24 months where he thought, man, we could really do this.

Now, there's a program that already existed inside of the Pentagon called iVaS, which was a contract owned by Microsoft, actually.

And we went out and we acquired the Microsoft division that was doing the iVaS program.

And so we're now working on this kind of with the team that has been iterating on versions for a while.

We've taken wildly different directions in a couple of places.

We've partnered with Meta, which was kind of a coming home for Palmer, which was cool to see Zuck and Palmer kind of make up and be friends again.

And also working with companies like Oakley.

So it's been really cool to see that coming to fruition.

Not a whole lot of publicly shareable stuff right now, but you're gonna see some of this start coming out in the coming months.

Cool.

Will we see it this year?

Actually, I don't know the specific timing, but it will be in the next few months.

It's a good question.

I don't know the specific answer to that from a timeline perspective.

Totally.

Yeah.

That's the plan.

You know, the program is about soldier born compute.
