Research abstract
THE DETAILED CONCEPT DEFINITION, ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF A TELEPRESENCE SENSORY AND CONTROL HELMET FOR SPACE APPLICATIONS WILL BE COMPLETED AS A SPECIFIC BASIS FOR FOLLOW-ON R&D LEADING TO DEMONSTRATION OF HARDWARE. NEW LEVELS OF PERFORMANCE WILL BE ACHIEVED IN COMBINED VIDEO AND COMPUTER GRAPHIC DISPLAY AND HIGH RESOLUTION. CAPABILITY TO PROJECT WORLD MODEL DATABASE AND OTHER SYMBOLIC INFORMATION AS WELL AS CURSOR-ACTIVATED CONTROL SYMBOLS WILL BE INCLUDED. DESIGN APPROACHES WILL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT TECHNICAL AND HUMAN FACTOR INTERFACES TO OTHER RELATED NASA PROGRAMS FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION. DESIGN APPROACHES WILL BE SHAPED BY FEASIBILITY REQUIREMENTS RESULTING FROM PROJECTED NEAR-TERM SPACE ACTIVITIES RELATED TO SPACE STATION, OMV, AND MARS ROVER.
