The astronauts on the ISS are on the verge of technological progress, so to speak. They test the latest devices, technologies and scientific tools. Now they need to work again, mastering new technologies. Namely - to test video glasses Hololens from Microsoft Corporation, which not so long ago arrived at the station.

In the case of the ISS, Hololens is part of a pilot project, the Sidekick , which allows specialists to work with various nodes, elements of technical systems without instructions. Informational support is provided by video glasses. The remote specialist sees the problem through the eyes of an astronaut, and through Skype or a graphical editor with the ability to share the image shows what and how to do. In addition, astronauts see elements of augmented reality - for example, an animation of the work process of a node.
Until the moment Hololens become a familiar tool, there is still a lot of time. But virtual reality gradually penetrates into the ordinary life of a person, including work, life and rest. Scientists most actively use such systems. By the way, going to work with Hololens and the team Curiosity. Team members will be able to travel back to Mars in virtual reality, and see with their own eyes everything that is around the rover. The effect of presence will be almost complete.
As for the repair work at Hololens , it is not only astronauts who can benefit from such a tool. Masters in enterprises, automobile workshops, data centers - such video glasses can be useful to many.
