In the US Army, they began to use night vision glasses as in video games

At the end of May 2021, the US Army began to use night vision glasses that turn the battlefield into a video game. According to the developers, the new Enhanced Night Visions Goggle-Binoculars (ENVG-B) system allows you to get the most complete information about the enemy at night.

Developed by the US Army together with L3 Warrior Systems, the glasses are designed to provide a clearer image in the night vision system than the previous generation glasses. The device fixed on the helmet is equipped with thermal vision and augmented reality functions, which bring game aspects to the training process.

The new military device works by amplifying light from the moon, stars or other light sources on the ground. Glasses capture photons reflected from practically dark objects and convert light into electrons. The electrons then pass through a screen coated with phosphor, a fluorescent substance, to create an image.

The use of white phosphor tubes eliminates the "green glow" characteristic of past systems, and thereby provides a sharper contrast that is very similar to the illumination of objects in video games. Such a lighting system also relieves eye fatigue and fatigue, making it easier to detect targets behind smoke clubs and in conditions of poor visibility, including underground.

ENVG-B are also equipped with a wireless connection function, which allows you to connect a weapon sight or augmented reality compass to night vision glasses, which is displayed at the top of the field of view and allows soldiers to navigate the area without removing glasses. Glasses can also connect wirelessly to devices of other platoon members, so if a soldier notices something, he can mark this object in cyberspace and show his associates.^[1]
