How ESA uses Extended Reality to elevate the future of space
At ESA, we are elevating the future of space through the use of transformative technologies.
For over 20 years, ESA has been exploring the potential of Extended Reality (XR), including Virtual, Augmented, and Mixed Reality (VR/AR/MR), which provides immersive experiences by connecting digital content with the real world.
XR marks a new era of space innovation, allowing us to interact, experience and engage with space and beyond. This video showcases some of the recent XR projects at ESA, demonstrating the immersive, interactive, and seamless experiences that this technology can create.
XR will play a significant role in enhancing space missions, becoming a go-to tool for ESA and space experts. XR allows our engineers to interact with components of the spacecrafts and support mission operations and provides realistic training for astronauts and educational and outreach experiences.

Fortnite is working with ESA?
This is incredible, especially considering the limited computing power we had for space travel decades ago, and now this. The possibilities seem limitless!
