From maintenance work to physics experiments, XR technology is playing a major role in the operations of the Expedition 65 crew. According to the official NASA blog, two members of the Expedition 65 crew employed VR and AR technology as part of their respective duties. They used a device referred to as the Sidekick (Investigating Immersive Visualization Capabilities), a modified version of the Microsoft HoloLens designed to provide wearers with critical information in the form of holographic projections.
The organization states that the device can be used to improve tasks including maintenance, science experiments, and various other station operations. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency utilized VR technology to conduct a series of tests as part of a physics study regarding the development of advanced materials using nanoparticles. According to NASA, Hoshide used a VR headset to study how astronauts visually translate motion in microgravity.
