Augmented Reality Environment for Electronic Procedure Systems (AREEPS)
Project Description
The Evolvable Mars Campaign (EMC) has identified technology needs for Autonomous Crew Operations. Augmented Reality (AR) is part of the solution to enable crew autonomy and coordinated surface and crew operations of vehicle or habitat at destinations with > 6 second time delay to ground. areas. For an effective and sustainable operations, an integrated development for augmented reality must be available for the ops team to create and manage AR content quickly and easily. Goal is to investigate the feasibility to develop an Augmented Reality Environment for electronic procedure Systems (AREEPS). Augmented Reality (AR) is part of solution to support crew autonomy and surface operations at destinations with > 6 second time delay to ground for an effective and sustainable operations, an integrated development for augmented reality must be available for the ops team to create and manage AR content quickly and easily. Goal is to investigate the feasibility to develop an Augmented Reality Environment for electronic procedure Systems (AREEP) that includes authoring environment that enables users to embed AR steps within procedures execution environment that mix traditional and AR steps within a web based user interface for overall procedure execution and monitoring.

Anticipated Benefits
The envisioned integrated development environment combines an authoring environment that enable the user to embed augmented reality steps within an electronic procedure, as well as an execution environment that can mix traditional and AR based steps within a web based user interface for overall procedure execution and monitoring. The use of the execution environment will provide overlaying of the context sensitive instruction or graphical cues on the target systems when looking at the system. Lack of an integrated development environment to support the complex software development effort (Bottleneck that hampers practical use of AR) procedures are meant to be tailored based on the situation flight operation community requires procedures updates within hours current technology still requires multiple weeks to develop an AR system. Significant impact to increase ISS utilization and closing the gaps to support missions beyond LEO.
