How the European Space Agency uses Extended Reality (XR) Technologies

"At the European Space Agency (ESA), we are elevating the future of space through the use of transformative technologies. For over 20 years, ESA has been exploring the potential of Extended Reality (XR), including Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR), which provides immersive experiences by connecting digital content with the real world."

"XR marks a new era of space innovation, allowing us to interact, experience and engage with space and beyond. This video showcases some of the recent XR projects at ESA, demonstrating the immersive, interactive, and seamless experiences that this technology can create."

"XR will play a significant role in enhancing space missions, becoming a go-to tool for ESA and space experts. XR allows our engineers to interact with components of the spacecrafts and support mission operations and provides realistic training for astronauts and educational and outreach experiences."
