197: AR, VR and XR in Space Exploration with Don Balanzat
What happens when you have a highly immersive technology tool (XR) that can integrate with our space exploration efforts? Perhaps a truly incredible experience. As we learn about a world we have yet to (personally) explore, we have some incredible tools that will allow us to have an experience in space- without even going! Don Balanzat can be our guide. Because according to Don, XR and immersive technology is much more than just entertainment - it's a computing platform that is revolutionizing the way we interact with data as we speak!
More about Don Balanzat, from Don:
“I worked in physics laboratories for 10 years at Rutgers University and Arizona State University where I built and performed demonstrations to enhance STEM education at the college level and engage the public/K-12 with science. I earned a Master's degree in XR for STEM visualization/learning during which I helped develop physics simulations and immersive ways of interacting with spatial data with various labs at ASU and NASA. Now, I work in the space industry developing VR/AR applications and solutions for the full gamut of spaceflight operations!”
