With NASA and other space agencies pushing to put more people in space, we’re going to need ways to communicate more efficiently. One prospective way of doing that is holoportation. The technology has been in use since at least 2016 at companies like Microsoft. However, this is the first time that NASA has used it. And, what better way to use it than in the pursuit of 3D telemedicine.
The growth of telemedicine has been exponential since the COVID-19 pandemic began. As such, it has helped establish new ways for doctors to reach people without risking exposure to viruses or diseases. Now, NASA is using that same tech to allow doctors to be holoported to the International Space Station.
“This is completely new manner of human communication across vast distances. Furthermore, it is a brand-new way of human exploration, where our human entity is able to travel off the planet. Our physical body is not there, but our human entity absolutely is there,” Dr. Josef Schmid said in aThis was the first time that anyone has used holoportation between space and Earth.
