SpaceVR讓您在虛擬實境當個太空人

SpaceVR是由一群太空工程師、NASA科學家、NASA太空人、黑客、地理學家以及許多知名的顧問與夥伴所組成。

 

任務很簡單,SpaceVR給每個人門票,從太空人的角度一窺銀河,透過360度與三D攝影機結合的Overview One探索未知的美麗太空。目標是希望從國際太空站得到現場直播的畫面!

全球史上有1,008億人口,其中只有536人有從上外太空的經驗,現在即將透過SpaceVR Kickstarter活動與科技產生改變!點此網站看集資活動頁面。

自從發現太空的那天,人類一直都為此著迷,但是全球大約只有0.1%的人有能力負擔Richard Branson的處女號太空梭登上太空,一張票至少要20萬美金,以後還可能會更貴。而且還要在等候名單上,誰知道何時才能出發?

SpaceVR現場直播搭配OverView One全景錄相機

SpaceVR傳送Overview One,內建12個鏡頭的攝錄儀器到國際太空站,來完成設定在12月開始的捕捉任務。這個器材的名稱是從著名的Overview Effect所發想,它代表從太空中感官認知的效果。從外太空看地球,可以看到世界沒有疆界,絕對會改變你看世界,甚至任何事物的看法。據SpaceVR而言,這個全景的直播視頻可以改變全球意識!

 

“Being in space and looking down at the earth, astronauts are hit with an astounding reality: our planet is a tiny, fragile ball of life, “hanging in the void,” shielded and nourished by a paper-thin atmosphere. It’s a phenomenon known as the Overview Effect.” By SpaceVR

 

SpaceVR表示從外太空看地球,太空人發現驚人的事實:我們的地球是個渺小且脆弱的生物體,懸在虛無飄渺中,周圍只有像紙一樣薄的養分,這就是著名的Overview Effect

 

Overview One會在國際太空站組裝,另會有個3D印表機,打印相機的底座讓其在太空中穩固。

SpaceVR有許多關於即時傳輸的願景,包括捕捉太空人在空中漫步,在太空梭內跟著太空人進入地球大氣層。但這一切都要等到第一個會面沒有問題地傳送回來才算數。

 

“We’re so dead-focused on ‘just get it done’ that the whole storytelling aspect is something we’re going to have to look at afterwards.” By SpaceVR

 

SpaceVR:”我們非常努力要讓這一切成真,至於敘事的角度就之後再談。"

 

It’s like Netflix, except you get to go to space.” By Isaac Desouze, SpaceVR Cofounder & CTO ( Via The Verge )

SpaceVR共同創辦人暨首席技術長表示:”就像Netflix一樣,但不一樣的是你進入太空。"

 

“The camera is a handheld camera, we envision the astronauts being able to put the camera in places like the Cupola, you just clip it on there. But at the same time, the astronauts are welcome and encouraged to move the camera around, put it in different modules, record different things.”

 

"這個相機是手持相機,我們假設太空人可以將相機架設在太空中,只要夾住這裡。但同時也歡迎太空人帶著相機到處移動,放在不同的角度,錄製不同的東西。"

 

“With 500 people experiencing this, it’s like a novelty. But with a million people experiencing this, it’s a movement. And with a billion people, you’ve had a shift in global consciousness.” By SpaceVR

 

SpaceVR:”500人的經驗是新奇的。但是有一百萬人的經驗,就是個活動。有十萬個人的經驗,我們就能翻轉全球意識。"

 

“We’re sending a virtual reality camera to the Cupola module, the observation deck of the International Space Station (ISS) to capture immersive 3D video – giving you the chance to have the same experience the astronauts get in real life.” By SpaceVR

 

我們將虛擬實境相機送到國際太空站的觀察站來捕捉3D影片,讓大家有機會在真實生活中體驗太空人。"

 

“Our squad has helped launch WiFi to the Space Station, worked to capture the first image ever from inside Jupiter, founded hackerspaces and space accelerators, cooled atoms to almost -459°F using lasers, developed new life support technology for manned space missions using liquid nitrogen, developed the cutting edge technology for VR and AR, organized NASA’s International Space Apps challenge, and even managed to give a killer TedX talk in our spare time. No big deal.” By SpaceVR

 

我們的團隊已經協助在太空站架設無線網路,用來捕捉來自木星內的第一個畫面、找到黑客空間以及空間加速器、用雷射將子冷卻至華氏-459°、使用液態氮為人類的太空任務開發新的生命支撐科技、為虛擬實境與擴增實境帶來尖端技術、組織NASA國際太空App、甚至可以在空嫌時間進行一場TedX演講,都不成問題!"

 

“Together we can make the universe accessible to everyone, inspire the next generation of explorers and get people excited about STEAM fields.” By SpaceVR

我們一起可以讓每個人都可接觸到宇宙,激勵下一代的探險家,讓人們對這領域產生興趣!”

 

“We’re a small group with a big mission: giving you a ticket to space.” By SpaceVR

“我們的團隊雖小,任務卻很重大:給大家上太空的船票。"

 

從太空捕捉到的影像,只有訂閱的人可以觀看。只要美金250元起,就可以看從國際太空站傳來的內容一整年,2000美元可以贊助一個教室一年,同時取得SpaceVR app以及30個 SpaceVR Cardboard.
