Best Buy is picking up the slack with a sales event of its own.From smart TVs to earbuds to laptops, there are plenty of opportunities to save.“Our close collaboration with the Army has enabled us to quickly build and iterate on the Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) to develop a transformational platform that will deliver enhanced soldier safety and effectiveness,” the spokesperson said “We are moving forward with the production and delivery of the initial set of HoloLens-based devices to fulfill our commitment to bring this next generation technology to the US Army.”Microsoft announced its 10 year, $21.88 billion contract with the Army last year to obtain 120,000 Integrated Visual Augmented System (IVAS) headsets.Then, earlier this year, an audit conducted by the Department of Defense Inspector General found mixed reactions to the technology by soldiers and warned the Army could wind up, “wasting up to $21.88 billion in taxpayer funds.” Microsoft, according to internal communions seen by Insider, has reportedly been bracing for a deluge of negative test results and even expressed concerns the Army could walk away from the contract altogether.“We (Microsoft) are going into the event expecting negative feedback from the customer,” a Microsoft employee wrote."
