NASA's 'Virtual Glovebox'

Posted by timothy on from the touch-but-don't-touch dept.

It will give astronauts a realistic training session for biology research tasks they may perform aboard the space station." This might be cool, but I still believe the first real killer application will be the VirtualLoveBoX :)"
