Project Details
- VR MON applies virtual reality technologies to enhance the tasks of monitoring space shuttle and satellite status for ground personnel at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
- "It enables analysts to more quickly and easily survey the current physical environment of a satellite. Within seconds of receiving live telemetry from a satellite, VR MON presents the analyst with a stereographic representation, using a Fakespace BOOM 3C, of the satellite and its surrounding environment, including the Earth, the sun, the moon, the planets, the stars, other spacecraft, and user-definable objects."
- As a natural interface, analysts can quickly orient themselves, their view angle, and other scenario specific information, in attitudes around a particular satellite or space craft to make effective flight decisions in real time. "At SIGGRAPH 95, VR MON provides visitors with true outer-space telepresence with live telemetry transmitted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center."
