VTT has developed a tool to support astronauts in complex repair tasks with the assistance of augmented reality, AR
The European Space Agency (ESA) has been testing a tool developed by VTT as part of its training and operations system. The tool, using augmented reality, has been developed to support astronauts in training and operations during a space flight.In space, all astronauts perform maintenance and repair tasks. To support them, they have completed thorough training, and have access to detailed instructions on computer screen and, if necessary, to experts on ground. A permanent contact with ground would undoubtedly improve the crew performance, but communications is limited on exploration
