NASA has announced that it has sent<strong> HTC headsets <\/strong>to the<strong> International Space Station<\/strong> on a Dragon resupply spacecraft. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xataka.com\/espacio\/nasa-enviara-al-espacio-gafas-realidad-virtual-htc-para-comprobar-mejoran-salud-mental-astronautas\">NASA has included an experiment to improve astronaut health<\/a>, which will involve wearing the headset for a year and a half to improve mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Danish astronaut Andreas Mogensen of the European Space Agency will be the first to use VR headsets to measure their effects on his <strong>mental health<\/strong>. Mogensen and other astronauts will wear the headsets for more than six months before returning home with the rest of the Crew-7 mission. Participants in the experiment will undergo &#8220;in-flight test sessions consisting of virtual reality video viewing and questionnaires,&#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.space.com\/vr-headset-launch-iss-spacex-dragon-cargo-mission\">according to NASA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/immersiumstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gafas-nasa-1024x683.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3518\" srcset=\"https:\/\/immersiumstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gafas-nasa-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/immersiumstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gafas-nasa-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/immersiumstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gafas-nasa-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/immersiumstudio.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/gafas-nasa.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:51px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The HTC <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xataka.com\/realidad-virtual-aumentada\/htc-vive-pro-2-htc-vive-focus-3-caracteristicas-precio-ficha-tecnica\">VIVE Focus 3<\/a> headsets they\u2019ll be using are<strong> tailored to operate in microgravity<\/strong>. XRHealth and HTC\u2019s VIVE division collaborated with a software consultancy called Nord-Space Aps to design a VR simulator tailored to the microgravity conditions of space. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.xataka.com\/espacio\/no-parece-estacion-espacial-hay-gravedad-hay-microgravedad-que-que-importante-para-hacer-ciencia\">microgravity environment like the ISS<\/a> can be particularly challenging for headsets like the VIVE Focus 3, particularly for orientation and tracking, since these devices typically use gravity to align your eyes. Previous headsets sent into space caused motion sickness and proved unusable for reading content. XRHealth\u2019s simulator uses a physically based tracking method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> experiment<\/strong> aims to <strong>help astronauts with mental health<\/strong> issues associated with long-term space travel, such as isolation, stress, and feelings of confinement and lack of privacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:196px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">At Immersium Studio we are experts in the metaverse educational and corporate activity. <a href=\"mailto:info@immersiumstudio.com\">Contact<\/a> us if you need help to enter and position yourself in it.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">We are experts in creating unforgettable high pedagogical rigor experiences.
