: Walking on Mars: NASA, Microsoft Explore Red Planet with Wearable HoloLens
在火星上走路: NASA跟微軟用HoloLens探索紅色星球
:
: Humans on Earth could soon plan a route on Mars for a rover by strapping on
: a virtual-reality headset.
人類即將可以利用虛擬實境為探測車規劃在火星上的路徑。
:
: NASA is planning to do science operations with the Curiosity rover using
: software co-developed with Microsoft for its new wearable technology, the
: HoloLens. The software, which is called OnSight, will simulate the
: environment that Curiosity sees using data that the rover gathered on Mars.
: This will allow program scientists to examine the environment as if they were
: standing alongside the rover, NASA said.
NASA計畫與微軟為穿戴式科技HoloLens共同開發應用軟體讓好奇號可以在火星上執行
科學任務。這個軟體叫做OnSight，他會利用好奇號在火星上用HoloLens科技蒐集到的資
訊把火星上的環境給模擬出來。
這可以讓計畫的科學家們去檢視火星上的環境，過程就像跟著探測車探索火星一樣。
:
: "OnSight gives our rover scientists the ability to walk around and explore
: Mars right from their offices," Dave Lavery, program executive for the Mars
: Science Laboratory mission at NASA headquarters in Washington D.C, said in a
: statement. "It fundamentally changes our perception of Mars, and how we
: understand the Mars environment surrounding the rover." [Mars Photos by
: NASA's Curiosity Rover]
OnSight讓探測車科學家有能力在地球上的辦公室中探索火星，NASA火星科學實驗任務
計畫執行主管Dave Lavery表示:「這個科技從根本上改變了我們對火星的觀察，以及
我們藉由探測車了解火星環境的方式。」
: Using pictures for navigation is something Mars planners are very used to,
: and on occasion the Curiosity or Opportunity rovers will take pictures that
: can be converted into 3D stereo views. That said, it's hard for humans to see
: how far away objects are because depth is difficult to translate, even in 3D
: pictures of the planet.
以前都是用照片來建立3D視圖，但就算是3D視圖也沒辦法準確計算物體的距離。
:
: To get around this problem, OnSight will use "holographic computing" —
: technology that pairs virtual reality with real imagery — so that the
: planners can see the environment and better gauge distance. Scientists can
: even crouch to get a better look at a Martian rock.
但用OnSight則可以利用全相攝影計算(將虛擬實境與實際畫面做比對)來達到更精確的
距離數據，科學家甚至還可以蹲下來把火星石頭看得更為清楚。

: Mark Spoonauer, editor-in-chief of Space.com's sister website Tom's Guide,
: got to try out the OnSight tool firsthand during a test of the HoloLens.
:
: "I walked around the surface of Mars, bending down to take a look at a rock
: that may provide clues to an earlier wet history for the planet," Spoonauer
: wrote on Tom's Guide. "I also collaborated with a remote JPL scientist, who
: helped me take higher-resolution photos of a mountainous region with a few
: air taps. During our interaction, I could see his bright green avatar (which
: looked more like the outline of a human than the real thing), as well as what
: he pointed to as we chatted."
:
: The Jet Propulsion Laboratory plans to start using OnSight for Curiosity
: mission operations later in 2015. NASA also plans to extend that work with
: the forthcoming Mars 2020 rover when it reaches the Red Planet.

JPL計畫於2015年底前開始將OnSight應用在好奇號任務上。
