August 4, 2017 - inconnu - Virtual reality fans will be able to visit the red planet Mars in an experience that shows how the first human settlers will cope.The immersive experience was put together using US space agency NASA’s input.The stunningly realistic depiction based on real maps, allows explorers to investigate an accurate replica of 40 square kilometres of the planet’s surface without leaving their armchair.The Mars 2030 virtual reality experience was created by FMS Studios, the digital video and experimentation production unit of multi-platform media company Fusion Media Group in collaboration with NASA.Called “the most realistic mars VR experience to date”, it includes a range of features designed to blur the line between science, engineering and entertainment. Mars 2030 has been accurately mapped and modelled from real mars orbital satellite data. Immersion is the primary focus with graphics and sound created to draw the user into the Martian landscape.To make it even more believable, the experience uses ambisonic audio filtered to match mars’ atmospheric pressure and sounds. A dramatic touch is given by an original score from the London Symphony Orchestra. Customisable touch screens display feedback information on the space suit worn by the VR users and fitted to the Mars Rover vehicle which can be guided over the surface.The suit gives biometric data, life support gauges and more. Mars 2030 users are able to navigate the expansive landscape and collect rock samples while observing the planetary protection zones. Later, they can analyze the findings in the geolab workstation’s VR microscope, revealing the planet’s hidden secrets. The habitat base has been modelled after actual NASA concept designs, and can also be explored.Calling in to report to NASA mission control at Houston and speaking with family members back home on Earth is also possible. Players can also get a first-hand look at many of the technol
