Experience Mars soon through Hololens

Washington: The US space agency and tech giant Microsoft have teamed up to create "Destination: Mars", a guided tour of Mars using the same Hololens headset technology that helps scientists plan the Curiosity rover's activities on Red Planet.
It will offer people a guided tour of an area of Mars with astronaut Buzz Aldrin this summer in an interactive exhibit using the Microsoft HoloLens mixed reality headset.“Mixed reality” means that virtual elements are merged with the user's actual environment, creating a world in which real and virtual objects can interact.
The "Destination: Mars" exhibit will open at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center's visitor complex in Florida this summer, the US space agency said in a statement.Guests will “visit” several sites on Mars, reconstructed using real imagery from NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover, which has been exploring the Red Planet since August 2012.
Aldrin, an Apollo 11 astronaut who walked on the moon in 1969, will serve as “holographic tour guide” on the journey. Curiosity Mars rover driver Erisa Hines of JPL will also appear holographically, leading participants to places on Mars where scientists have made exciting discoveries and explaining what we have learned about the planet.
