In my final installment, Post 3, I cast a vision towards the future, envisaging how evolving virtual reality technologies and emerging innovations are set to further revolutionize astronaut training. I discuss the potential of extended reality, analyze VR’s effectiveness compared to traditional methods, and gather astronaut perspectives on this immersive training journey.
Where have I been for a couple of months? I had to reprioritize my energy to deal with some events and objectives that urgently needed my attention. We had a couple of family situations come up that took the wind out of my sails, just as I was preparing to start my holiday decorating. I… (read more)
In Post 1, I delve into the transformative role of virtual reality (VR) in astronaut training, exploring its evolution from traditional methods to advanced, immersive simulations. I’ll examine how VR technology not only enhances the realism of spacewalks and emergency procedures but also introduces a new era of safety and efficiency in preparing astronauts for the challenges of space exploration.
