Virtual reality has been explored as a technology to artificially expose astronauts to space conditions and procedures prior to going into space. Using virtual reality, astronauts can be trained and evaluated on performing an EVA (extravehicular activity) with all the necessary equipment and environmental features simulated.
Sidekick has two modes of operation. Remote Expert Mode uses the functionality of the Holographic Skype application—voice and video chat, real-time virtual annotation—to allow a ground operator and space crew member to collaborate directly over what the astronaut sees, with the ground operator able to see the crew member's view in 3D, provide interactive guidance, and draw annotations into ...
The crew prepares to close the hatch behind them for the last time as a mission comes to an end and a historic new chapter in human spaceflight begins - with the arrival of the SpaceX Crew-1 astronauts, and the filming of the first-ever spacewalk captured in virtual reality.
NASA is working on a set of augmented reality glasses for astronauts aboard the International Space Station. The agency is partnering with Osterhout Design Group, which has been building high-tech ...
The touring Spacebuzz module uses virtual reality technology to simulate spaceflight for children. [31] A 2019 study found that a virtual experience invoked "minor transformative experiences in some participants", including appreciation of beauty and vastness, realization of interconnectedness, and a potential intent to change one's behavior.

Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that employs 3D near-eye displays and pose tracking to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. Applications of virtual reality include entertainment (particularly video games), education (such as medical, safety or military training) and business (such as virtual meetings).
But the reality would be dreadful, according to one book that argues that Elon Musk’s intention to settle the red planet within the next 30 years is doomed to failure.
Miralles was the co-author of the state-of-the-art Dynamic Onboard Ubiquitous Graphics (DOUG) flight software, which has been used since 2000 to train astronauts using virtual reality technology. She was part of the team for STS 61 mission, which repaired the Hubble Space Telescope in 1993, and for all Space Shuttle and ISS missions after. [1]
