Description:
Immersive 3D 360° technology will transform
the way the general public will experience
space exploration. It will make it possible
for people of all ages, anywhere on Earth to
come on board and experience space as if
they were there via a multitude of immersive
formats. The capture of high quality 3D 360°
images can also be used as source material
in support of teaching and scientific
research.
The purpose of the project is to increase
the maturity of immersive virtual reality
(VR) camera technology for Moon missions by
eliminating key risks related to bandwidth
and embedded processing. The main objective
of this project is to develop a VR platform
validated in laboratory that can support
high-quality productions while compatible
with moon mission architectures (CLPS,
Gateway, Orion, Artemis) and lunar
environment. This project constitutes a step
forward the creation of a lunar media
infrastructure in order to produce premium
content distributed across all media
ecosystem of the return of humankind on the
moon and of the future of space exploration.
