Microsoft 3D software will be used to explore Mars

According to US media, the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has partnered with Microsoft to develop holographic software (3-D).

This software will help scientists explore the surface of Mars, while still on Earth.

This holographic software is named "OnSight" , and will use photo-information provided by NASA's Curiosity spacecraft.

This software will include the information available in the user's tracking fields. The software will also help scientists to perform scientific experiments on a virtual surface of the Red Planet.

According to people familiar with this collaborative project, users will be connected to headphones placed on a virtual reality glasses and pushed to the three-dimensional surface of Mars with practical and computer-generated information. out image.

Dave Lavery, running NASA's Mars Science Lab Mission Program, said OnSight allowed NASA scientists to control their scientific exploration ships moving around and exploring Mars right from their offices. .

According to American newspapers, holographic software is currently in development at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena.OnSight software will not provide a complete immersive experience, but members of the Curiosity executive team will get a more realistic view of the environment around the probe.

So far, NASA has obtained images sent from the Curiosity ship on a two-way screen, but now, when OnSight is used, the images of Mars will become as real as they are.
