: Walking on Mars: NASA, Microsoft Explore Red Planet with Wearable HoloLens
在火星上走路: NASA跟微软用HoloLens探索红色星球
:
: Humans on Earth could soon plan a route on Mars for a rover by strapping on
: a virtual-reality headset.
人类即将可以利用虚拟实境为探测车规划在火星上的路径。
:
: 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计画与微软为穿戴式科技HoloLens共同开发应用软件让好奇号可以在火星上执行
科学任务。这个软件叫做OnSight，他会利用好奇号在火星上用HoloLens科技蒐集到的资
讯把火星上的环境给模拟出来。
这可以让计画的科学家们去检视火星上的环境，过程就像跟着探测车探索火星一样。
:
: "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让探测车科学家有能力在地球上的办公室中探索火星，NASA火星科学实验任务
计画执行主管Dave Lavery表示:“这个科技从根本上改变了我们对火星的观察，以及
我们借由探测车了解火星环境的方式。”
: 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.
以前都是用照片来建立3D视图，但就算是3D视图也没办法准确计算物体的距离。
:
: 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则可以利用全相摄影计算(将虚拟实境与实际画面做比对)来达到更精确的
距离数据，科学家甚至还可以蹲下来把火星石头看得更为清楚。

: 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计画于2015年底前开始将OnSight应用在好奇号任务上。
