Project Overview

The NASA SUITS challenge of 2021 ask for the displays of the helmet to be brought into the modern era. The LEAR team choose to use the Hololens2 with an additional optical heartrate sensor. The integration of computer vision is used to create a larger contrast in images. A nearest point algorithm is used to help navigate astronauts from one point to another. Science sampling uses the Hololens2 holography library to create a non-offensive way to collect data and samples. The biometrics of the astronaut are displayed using similar technology along with the heart rate monitor as a secondary source of information. These inclusions bring the helmet display of the astronaut to the modern era.

This project was sponsored by the Florida Space Grant Consortium and George Jackson Foundation.
