Nasa tests ‘holoportation’ technique, doctors come in front of astronauts, know about it

The American space agency NASA has said that it has tested a communication technology called ‘holoportation’. It sounds like a word that came out of a science fiction movie and has little relevance to everyday life. Although this word is a combination of ‘hologram’ and ‘teleportation’. In October last year, NASA used this innovative 3D technology to ‘holoport’ its flight surgeon Dr. Joseph Schmid to the International Space Station, while the doctor was physically present on Earth.

Under this technique, 3D holograms of Dr. Schmid and his team members were created and transmitted to the space station, which appeared as live interactions with the astronauts. NASA’s according toHoloportation communication allows high-quality 3D models of people to be transmitted anywhere in real time. If combined with mixed reality displays such as Microsoft’s HoloLens, the technology enables users to see, hear and interact with people in 3D. It was as if they were all present in the same place.

It is worth noting that the technology used for holoportation is not new. Microsoft is using it since 2016. Although NASA is the first agency to use holoration in the extreme environment of space in the year 2021.

Flight surgeon Dr. Joseph Schmidt has said that this is a completely new way of human communication at an altitude of thousands of kilometers from the earth. Even though we were not there physically, but we were there physically.

The US space agency plans to use this technology extensively for two-way communication on future space missions. In this, people from Earth are holoported into space and astronauts are brought to Earth. This is especially useful for medical and people meeting their families. According to NASA, there is also a possibility of combining this technology with Augmented Reality.
