A pair of Microsoft HoloLens' devices, the first fully untethered see-through holographic computer, is launching to the International Space Station aboard a SpaceX cargo spacecraft this Sunday. This new capability could reduce crew training requirements and increase the efficiency at which astronauts work in space. NASA and Microsoft engineers tested Project Sidekick and the Microsoft HoloLens aboard NASA’s Weightless Wonder C9 jet to ensure they function as expected in free-fall in advance of their delivery to the station. The Sidekick project is part of a larger partnership formed by NASA and Microsoft to explore applications of holographic computing in space exploration. #Hololens #virtualreality #mixedreality #technology #space #exploration #spacestation #nasa #microsoft #spacex
