Video Transcript – ARSIS project 2018 team video

Hi. We are from the Boise State NASA suits team. NASA is currently looking for better ways to communicate information to astronauts on spacewalks. Currently astronauts receive information through verbal communication with ground control and paper instructions. Our solution to this problem involves using augmented reality which puts a digital overlay over the real world. This technology provides exciting opportunities to make this process more intuitive and help astronauts get the information they need when they need it. As part of the suits challenge our team will be implementing this augmented reality technology by using the Microsoft HoloLens. We here at Boise State have designed the augmented reality space informatics system or ARSIS, as an improvement to NASA’s current system. With ARSIS astronauts will be able to anchor instructions in real space and use voice commands to navigate through tasks. Ground control will also be able to monitor the astronauts’ feed and draw instructions in the astronauts view through the HoloLens.
