When VR comes to Mars
So I was able to watch the live JPL Mission Control feed for the Mars
Landing on the Oculus Quest 2 headset, via the 360 3D VR YouTube feed.
This genuinely was a 21st century experience. I was apparently standing
above one of the main consoles. To the sides were the various folks at
their instrumentation displays. Front and up was a video screen
displaying the commentator on the main NASA video feed. If I looked to
the left I could see the commentator himself in the booth in front of
the NASA camera and under a boom microphone.
And I got to thinking, can I locate the 360 3D VR camera that I'm
looking through? And sure enough, on the NASA video feed screen in
mission control, that I could see by looking front and up, there were
shots of the entire room and I found the camera -- a small black globe
apparently on a short stand above one of the consoles. So while I was
using VR to see the room, I could see the camera that was literally
providing me the VR feed.
