In conjunction with Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), i-glasses portable head-worn video monitors have supported U.S. Armed Forces around the world under the most challenging conditions where applications included gathering reconnaissance data and monitoring borders. The portablity of both the i-glasses and the UAS devices allow precise situational awareness day or night, turning imagery into intelligence. Military Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units, first responders and law enforcement agencies worldwide are using the i-glasses portable video monitor glasses with Unmanned Vehicle Systems (UVS) to help assure safety during the most dangerous missions. The light weight and portability of i-glasses make them perfect for use with mobile robot systems during hazardous-duty operations such as bomb disposal or removing chemical and bio hazardous materials.

VR In Military Applications
The US Navy uses an i-glassses HMD in their VR Parachute Trainer at the Naval Air Base in Pensacola. Used to train pilots, copilots and navigators, the simulator allows them to hang from a harness just a few inches from the ground while experiencing the feel of a 4,000-foot jump. Unlike bulky Virtual Reality Helmets or VR Headsets, the i-glasses, weighing in at only seven ounces, are lightweight, comfortable and fully adjustable. Because of their sleek design, they can be used in conjunction with ordinary prescription eyeglasses.

ROVs are highly maneuverable, linked by tether lines and operated by a person aboard a surface vessel. Equipped with a video camera and lights, they can be used to inspect subsea structures, pipelines and platforms. More recently, government agencies such as the US Coast Guard are using Underwater Robots to secure ports and waterways.
