Microsoft HoloLens: Partner Spotlight with Case Western Reserve University. Project Esper: Mixed Reality Anatomy Learning. Nathaniel Guy discusses how NASA has utilized MR. Nat Guy is Lead Interface Developer at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory and will be at VRDC Fall 2017 to present the talk “Mixed Reality for Space Exploration”, which will discuss how virtual and mixed reality are currently being used to deal with problems encountered in space exploration. Here, Guy gives us some information about himself and how NASA has utilized MR. Attend VRDC Fall 2017 to learn about immersive games & entertainment, brand experiences, and innovative use cases across industries. Tell us about yourself and your work in VR/MR. I’m a developer at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory. I’m in a lab called the OpsLab, which specializes in building modern user interfaces to solve problems related to space exploration.
Without spoiling it too much, tell us what you’ll be talking about at VRDC. I’ll be talking about some of my lab’s most exciting projects in the domain of VR and MR. What excites you most about VR/MR? MR/VR is still in a bit of a “wild west” stage of development. MediVis - Medicine, Augmented. Gravity Sketch VR – Leap Motion.
This virtual reality app requires the use of an HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, a mounted Leap Motion Controller (using the VR Developer Mount or unofficial alternative), and the Leap Motion Orion software. Gravity Sketch is an immersive 3D creation tool. You can create detailed professional grade 3D models, scenes, and artwork in a fast, intuitive way! From idea conception, design directly in 3D and take your models out of the scene into another design tool, CAD software, game engine, or 3D print platform.
Upload your creations directly from the app to the cloud and share with others in a matter of seconds. Gravity Sketch will change your design workflow and the way you share 3D content. Gravity Sketch includes an optional Leap Motion beta mode with experimental functionality.
