AstroHUD

Fall 2020 – Spring 2021
The AstroHUD is a prototype AR display for astronauts.
The next generation spacesuit has the potential to reimagine the astronaut workflow. By including a mixed reality heads-up display in the helmet, astronauts can leverage an integrated information network to enhance navigation, task completion, and communication. This display can also expose critical telemetry, and passively reduce the stress and mental load of working in space.
In this project, we research mission requirements, astronaut needs, and design guidelines to synthesize our interpretation of such a heads-up display. We present this synthesis in an annotated user interface and interaction spec, then prototype and validate the display using the HoloLens 2.
