Nasa And Microsoft Team Up Launch Mars Hololens Exhibit

According to a recent press release from NASA, while scientists had to use regular computers to examine imagery from Mars, this is the chance to take advantage of HoloLens and VR technology. “OnSight gives our rover scientists the ability to walk around and explore Mars right from their offices,” said Dave Lavery, program executive for Solar System Exploration at NASA Headquarters. “It fundamentally changes our perception of Mars, and how we understand the Mars environment surrounding the rover.” The software Destination Mars will make use of is called OneSight, and was jointly developed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and Microsoft. NASA is using OnSight for robotic missions top Mars, so while technology is not solely designed for image exploration via the use of AR and VR, the use of this technology will create new paradigms with which to experience these far off lands.
