NASA's 'Virtual Glovebox'

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

jukal writes "An article at SpaceDaily writes about NASA's BioVIS Lab's VirtualGloveBoX project: " The virtual glovebox will combine a three-dimensional display and workstation with force-feedback devices and real-time computer simulation. 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 :)"
