Did you know that in 1999 Augmented Reality was first used for navigation in NASA's X-38 spacecraft?🚀 NASA used a hybrid synthetic vision system that integrated augmented reality into their spacecraft. The AR technology was used to help improve navigation during their test flights. #uprealdigital #digital #horizonworlds #arservices #webar #appar #meta #metaverses #artxcode #internetart #metaverse #virtualrealityglasses #virtualrealitygaming #virtualrealityart #virtualrealitynews #virtualrealityheadset #virtualreality #artificialintelligence #technology #vr #simulation #mixedreality #games #immersive #ar #techworld #expert #3d #conversion

#supplychain #transportation Did you see the new X-59 supersonic jet? It was revealed last week and might point the way towards supersonic flight. Ultimately, the biggest hurdle that NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration and Lockheed Martin are looking to overcome is the noise when planes hit the sound barrier at about 750 mph. In the US supersonic planes have been banned from overland flight since 1973 due to this noise. The X-59 concept has been in the works for eight years at Lockheed's Skunk Works facility in Palmdale, CA. Test flights will begin this year over US cities this year to determine whether people are bothered by the noise of the aircraft. If you look closely at the image below, you'll notice that the pilot has no direct forward vision. Instead, the company uses a VR monitor that serves as a window. This is certainly an interesting feature that could make its way into other projects. Another interesting feature is the engine, which is mounted on top of the tail to prevent shockwaves from merging behind the aircraft. Obviously, the question is whether we want or need supersonic flight. The hydrogen-powered Boom Overture concept, for example, will fly from New York to Paris in 90 minutes once it takes off. For those of us who cross the Atlantic regularly, that would be incredible. #truckl #innovation

**Exploring Valkyrie: NASA's Cutting-Edge Humanoid Robot** As we celebrate #RoboWeek, let's take a closer look at Valkyrie, the humanoid robot developed by @NASA that is paving the way for future space exploration. What do you think about the potential of using #VR to control robots like Valkyrie on missions to Mars? #robotics #RoboWeek, #NASA, #Valkyrie, #VR, #robotics

I had a lot of fun putting together this months edition of the Spatial Times, Hololink's newsletter about creating augmented reality experiences. I've come across some interesting articles and have written one myself. I hope you get a lot out of it! #newsletter #augmentedreality #gamification #webar #webxr #experience

Today marks the 55th anniversary of the launching of the Apollo 11 mission, the spaceflight responsible for landing people on the moon for the first time! The moon has been visited six more times in the following decades. Luckily today there is an easier way to visit the moon and learn about space! Earlier this year, the European Space Agency - ESA (ESA) collaborated with Fortnite to bring us 'Lunar Horizons', an immersive lunar mission game available to play inside Fortnite! The game offers a novel opportunity to learn about space missions, the moon, and ESA, while collecting resources and exploring the low gravity lunar environment. Video games are increasingly recognised by educators for their massive education potential! Games like Lunar Horizons give people an interactive environment to explore and learn about the space.

Archer and NASA team up on eVTOL tech 🚁 Archer has signed a Space Act Agreement with the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration which is focused on ensuring the U.S. leads the next generation of air transportation. The collaboration will kick off with an initial project focused on studying high-performance battery cells and safety testing targeted for AAM and space applications. Find out more > > https://hubs.la/Q02hk5Kj0 “We’re extremely proud to partner with NASA, who has pioneered the eVTOL industry over the last 3+ decades, in support of our collective mission to ensure U.S. leadership in aerospace continues for decades to come,” said Adam Goldstein, Archer’s Founder and CEO. “Many countries around the world are challenging the U.S. in this new era of flight and our country is at risk of losing its global leadership position unless we work together, government and industry, to ensure we seize the moment and pioneer this new era of aviation technology, which stands to benefit all Americans.” Read more on the Advanced Air Mobility International website. #advancedairmobility #aam #evtol #aircraft #transport #mobility #nasa

India's space agency tapping into the prowess of Virtual Reality Simulation in Mission critical operations! Best wishes to our crew and the nation for the space mission! "Indians will be going back to space after 40 years. But this time, the time is ours, the countdown is ours, and the rocket is also ours,” prime minister about the Gaganyaan mission. India’s space agency on Tuesday revealed the four astronauts-designate who are training for the country’s first human spaceflight mission planned for 2025. It is encouraging also to see the vital role of Virtual Reality Simulator for training in such mission critical space operations!! #virtualreality #vr #immersivelearning #immersivetechnology #extendedreality

A cockpit with no windows 🤯 😲 ⁉️ NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration's latest marvel, the X-59 aircraft, is set to redefine supersonic flight as we know it. Measuring an impressive 99.7 feet in length and 29.5 feet in width, Its innovative design, coupled with cutting-edge technology, paves the way for quiet supersonic travel. The X-59's slender, tapered nose, which spans almost a third of its length is designed to effectively disperses shock waves, eliminating the notorious sonic boom associated with supersonic flight. The cockpit isn't positioned at the front as you might expect. Instead, it's strategically placed halfway down the aircraft's length. The QueSST team has introduced the eXternal Vision system, boasting high-resolution cameras that feed into a state-of-the-art 4K monitor right in the cockpit. . . . #NASA #AviationInnovation #X59Aircraft #SuperSonice #SonicBoom #Innovation #FutureofAviation
