is that 34 00:01:25,190 --> 00:01:25,200 is unique about virtual reality is that 35 00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,590 is unique about virtual reality is that the user has complete control over the 36 00:01:27,590 --> 00:01:27,600 the user has complete control over the 37 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:28,870 the user has complete control over the environment 38 00:01:28,870 --> 00:01:28,880 environment 39

example the task is to 47 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,550 in another example the task is to withdraw a square shape from its slot 48 00:01:40,550 --> 00:01:40,560 withdraw a square shape from its slot 49 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:43,030 withdraw a square shape from its slot the operator's glove can be manipulated 50 00:01:43,030 --> 00:01:43,040 the operator's glove can be manipulated 51 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,749 the operator's glove can be manipulated to control a robotic arm while sound 52 00:01:45,749 --> 00:01:45,759 to control a robotic arm while sound 53 00:01:45,759 --> 00:01:47,830 to control a robotic arm while sound cues help with depth perception and 54 00:01:47,830 --> 00:01:47,840 cues help with depth perception and 55 00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:49,749 cues help with depth perception and finding proper fit 56 00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:49,759 finding proper fit 57 00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:52,310 finding proper fit scientists have also designed a virtual 58 00:01:52,310 --> 00:01:52,320 scientists have also designed a virtual 59 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:53,590 scientists have also designed a virtual wing tunnel 60 00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:53,600 wing tunnel 61 00:01:53,600

anywhere in the tunnel to study airflow 64 00:01:58,550 --> 00:01:58,560 the tunnel to study airflow 65 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,190 the tunnel to study airflow virtual reality gives the operator 66 00:02:01,190 --> 00:02:01,200 virtual reality gives the operator 67 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,709 virtual reality gives the operator complete choice 68 00:02:02,709 --> 00:02:02,719 complete choice 69 00:02:02,719 --> 00:02:04,550 complete choice and is beginning to be used for a 70 00:02:04,550 --> 00:02:04,560 and is beginning to be used for a 71 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,270 and is beginning to be used for a variety of commercial applications 72 00:02:07,270 --> 00:02:07,280 variety of commercial applications 73 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,309 variety of commercial applications what sets nasa apart in this uh current 74 00:02:10,309 --> 00:02:10,319 what sets nasa apart in this uh current 75 00:02:10,319 --> 00:02:12,150 what sets nasa apart in this uh current climate is that we aren't looking at the 76 00:02:12,150 --> 00:02:12,160 climate is that we aren't looking at the 77 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,589 climate is that we aren't looking at the mainstream applications uh of the this 78 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:15,599 mainstream applications uh of the this 79 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:17,270 mainstream applications uh of the this global activity which tend to be 80 00:02:17,270 --> 00:02:17,280 global activity which tend to be 81 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,589 global activity which tend to be entertainment and video games we're more 82 00:02:19,589 --> 00:02:19,599 entertainment and video games we're more 83 00:02:19,599 --> 00:02:20,949 entertainment and video games we're more looking to how to use this for 84 00:02:20,949 --> 00:02:20,959 looking to how to use this for 85 00:02:20,959 --> 00:02:22,949 looking to how to use this for scientific visualization 86 00:02:22,949 --> 00:02:22,959 scientific visualization 87 00:02:22,959 --> 00:02:24,869 scientific

virtual reality is an idea that dates 98 00:02:37,110 --> 00:02:37,120 virtual reality is an idea that dates 99 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,910 virtual reality is an idea that dates back to the 60s and will be commonplace 100 00:02:39,910 --> 00:02:39,920 back to the 60s and will be commonplace 101 00:02:39,920 --> 00:02:41,670 back to the 60s and will be commonplace by the next decade 102

--> 00:03:07,270 the dry valleys of antarctica may soon become a far-reaching outlet for this 124 00:03:07,270 --> 00:03:07,280 become a far-reaching outlet for this 125 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:08,550 become a far-reaching outlet for this technology 126 00:03:08,550 --> 00:03:08,560 technology 127 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,470 technology scientists have long been interested in 128 00:03:10,470 --> 00:03:10,480 scientists have long been interested in 129 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,470 scientists have long been interested in the area because it is so similar to 130 00:03:12,470 --> 00:03:12,480 the area because it is so similar to 131 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,670 the area because it is so similar to mars 132 00:03:13,670 --> 00:03:13,680 mars 133 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,070 mars its

planning to 141 00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,750 researchers at nasa ames are planning to use a form of virtual reality called 142 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:25,760 use a form of virtual reality called 143 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,789 use a form of virtual reality called telepresence to operate a remote imaging 144 00:03:28,789 --> 00:03:28,799 telepresence to operate a remote imaging 145 00:03:28,799 --> 00:03:31,110 telepresence to operate a remote imaging and sampling vehicle to explore this 146 00:03:31,110 --> 00:03:31,120 and sampling vehicle to explore this 147 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,789 and sampling vehicle to explore this bizarre world 148 00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:32,799 bizarre world 149 00:03:32,799 --> 00:03:35,670 bizarre world dr carol stoker leads this effort 150 00:03:35,670 --> 00:03:35,680 dr carol stoker leads this effort 151 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,710 dr carol stoker leads this effort with telepresence we think that that we 152 00:03:38,710 --> 00:03:38,720 with telepresence we think that that we 153 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,110 with telepresence we think that that we can really expand the range of access to 154 00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:41,120 can really expand the range of access to 155 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,030 can really expand the range of access to the surface of mars from a scientific 156 00:03:43,030 --> 00:03:43,040 the surface of mars from a scientific 157 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,430 the surface of mars from a scientific perspective not just in terms of 158 00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:45,440 perspective not just in terms of 159 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,309 perspective not just in terms of operating you know relatively uh simple 160 00:03:48,309 --> 00:03:48,319 operating you know relatively uh simple 161 00:03:48,319 --> 00:03:49,910 operating you know relatively uh simple robots to do things like construction 162 00:03:49,910 --> 00:03:49,920 robots to do things like construction 163 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:51,990 robots to do things like construction but but really to do scientific field 164 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:52,000 but but really to do scientific field 165 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:52,869 but but really to do scientific field work 166 00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:52,879 work 167 00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:55,589 work the potential of virtual reality and 168 00:03:55,589 --> 00:03:55,599 the potential of virtual
