Napa Valley College students take up a challenge from NASA
A team of ambitious student software designers at Napa Valley College has entered NASA’s Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students (SUITS) challenge where they will design an augmented reality user interface for the spacesuits used in the next mission to the moon.
NVC is one of 19 colleges around the country that have been accepted by NASA to participate. NVC is one of only two community colleges participating; all the other schools are four-year universities, including Columbia University in New York and Johns Hopkins in Baltimore.
The project gives the students access to a HololenLens 2, a $3,500 augmented reality headset developed and sold by Microsoft Because of its cost, the Hololens is often only used in business applications, but the SUITS program made it available to the students for this program.
