KILZ FILLZ Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 https://phys.org/news/2022-04-sci-fi-real-life-nasa-doctor.html The "holoportation", a word made from hologram and transportation, features a life-like visual and audio connection between the space center and those back on Earth. Dr. Josef Schmid and his crew were holoported to the ISS using the Microsoft Hololens Kinect camera and a personal computer with custom software Aexa, according to an April 8 release from NASA. Schmid had a virtual conversation with astronaut Thomas Pesquet as part of a 3D telemedicine visit. "We'll use this for our private medical conferences, private psychiatric conferences, private family conferences and to bring VIPs onto the space stationto visit with astronauts ," Schmid said. The technology allows users to interact with remote participants in 3D as if they were physically in the same space. "It is a brand new way of human exploration, where our human entity is able to travel off the planet. Our physical body is not there, but our human entity absolutely is there."
