MARS 2030 Is Amazing!

2016-04-12
hello everyone I'm Dimitri with Harbor Canucks and would you take a one-way ticket to Mars and I heard an interview recently where you said that you you would place a beautifly take a one-way trip okay if I ever got like like a chance to do that I would love to like film the world's first like Martian documentary it's one of the coolest VR demos that I've recently experienced is Mars 2030 which is such a fantastic way to give us realistic renders and realistic scenarios on where we VR applications could go in the future it's not really just gaming but you have so much also scientific things behind it that could drive VR forward march 2030 is about giving you an experience what it actually is like to be on Mars I love the experience of having an open-world game and being able to you choose what you want to do and we want to bring that same type of freedom into Mars 2030 you're the astronaut and you get to do what you want to do probably can't count many games that really say I'm an astronaut and I'm doing the duties of a national but they're also working with NASA and MIT so NASA is giving them all types of data images of actual Mars imagery so not something that's simulated but physical images that have been captured by NASA have been handed over to these developers to create this Mars 2030 experience nASA has given us everything from from the rover models and the habitat models to be able to kind of put this all together and and kind of extract the data from that and say okay how do we get this inside of on really the one thing that we're sacrificing in is is there's this thing called planetary protection zones which is since we would show up on Mars and we can contaminate the the Martian soil with our own basically microbiology there are areas that they would section off that the humans could work on but nowhere else and there are specific key areas where there could be like and then you extract the sample and get life but it could be a false positive then you get earth life because you just got your germs of you they are using actual physics so gravity of 38% of Earth gravity or 28% is actually being implemented into this into the game everything that you see on Mars and the game is actually on Mars think about that in the full experience we have about seven missions seven missions that align with to the two major goals that nasa has for reasoning as to why to go to mars everything that's been implemented with the sound design has been actually worked with NASA so they've recorded what it's like to be in the actual Mars rover prototype so they placed microphones inside the rover recorded what the sounds are alike and then you get to experience that exactly so once you inside the rover you can move around and as you proceed through Mars territory you feel and you you see what Mars and Martian surface looks like from the outside which is real and then you also are hearing what the Mars rover sounds like one of the coolest thing about the Mars rover toe is that it's got six wheels and they are independent of it and independent of each other so you can be moving sideways and you can do all types of cool maneuvers and what the developers told us was that they've actually met astronauts that train on those Rovers and the parking skills man those are some freaking fantastic parking skills that those astronauts have on one of our visits to Johnson Space Center we saw one of the re-entry videos so it's it's it's almost it looks kind of like the Apollo capsule but much more modern version and they were landing it I mean they shot it out into space and they had a reenter and the sounds of when you hear like the re-entering that the thruster is aligning so that it enters properly and the plasma that surrounds the the spacecraft is insanely cool experience and we want to recreate that for VR Unreal Engine is so popular so we hope that optimization is going to be right up there the whole map that we are told right now is eight square kilometers which is based off real images they're going to be reducing that for the actual game and one of the coolest things you can see is the actual Martian crater it's based off images that nASA has given them it's not a recreated crater it's an actual crater that exists on Mars and when you look over one of the surfaces you can feel how gigantic the the damn thing is when you driving the rover and you exit basically you don't basically what the proposing is not suiting up inside but suiting up and crawling into a spacesuit so through that process when you want to capture okay what does it look like to get into this patient so in the experience you'll see that you kind of crawl into a spacesuit just in the same way through a suit port that NASA is proposing and to get back to my first question on this video if you were to take a one-way ticket to Mars would you I however I'm gonna go pack my bags and hopefully find Matt Damon I I take a round to it yeah we see here is a one-way ticket one way one way ticket the way I think the first thing I'm going to do with it take its Y videos free pepper I'm gonna use my feet dig out the letters MA
