00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:37.280
The STTR solicitation should be
reviewed thoroughly.

00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:14.720
There are three scopes in this
subtopic.

eacb3df0-2a28-413c-a146-6141c0e52fed-0
00:01:14.960 --> 00:01:18.532

00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:55.440
TRL six as appropriate for the
phase of the award.

40b621f7-80a3-4bc1-8db1-34781f218ce6-0
00:01:55.880 --> 00:01:59.375
Phases one and two should
include all the algorithms of

40b621f7-80a3-4bc1-8db1-34781f218ce6-1
00:01:59.375 --> 00:02:02.995

00:02:07.240 --> 00:02:10.961
Implementation of the developed
solution along with a simulation

00:02:10.961 --> 00:02:13.480
platform must be included as a
deliverable.

cd121a32-00bd-4d6f-b537-6b0db3a447ba-0
00:02:16.200 --> 00:02:20.406
This is the critical gap for the
healthcare and health management

cd121a32-00bd-4d6f-b537-6b0db3a447ba-1
00:02:20.406 --> 00:02:22.000
scope under the subtopic.

15797847-6b38-4207-8b0d-bff797381215-0
00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:25.877
Currently, NASA relies on
limited training performed

15797847-6b38-4207-8b0d-bff797381215-1
00:02:25.877 --> 00:02:29.373
before flights, support from a
flight surgeon on console, or

15797847-6b38-4207-8b0d-bff797381215-2
00:02:29.373 --> 00:02:32.640
manuals to carry out healthcare
of crew during missions.

f847d22e-bb51-424b-b112-cab8f51e4494-0
00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:36.519
As mission durations increase
and the distance we visit grows,

f847d22e-bb51-424b-b112-cab8f51e4494-1
00:02:36.519 --> 00:02:39.324
crews must become more
autonomous in managing their

f847d22e-bb51-424b-b112-cab8f51e4494-2
00:02:39.324 --> 00:02:42.400
health and addressing any
medical situations that arise.

551587b5-7952-458c-84de-ed2de9841392-0
00:02:42.880 --> 00:02:45.888
The commercial care industry is
also leveraging some of these

551587b5-7952-458c-84de-ed2de9841392-1
00:02:45.888 --> 00:02:48.509
technologies in day-to-day
operations, and NASA could

551587b5-7952-458c-84de-ed2de9841392-2
00:02:48.509 --> 00:02:51.178
benefit significantly from
incorporating some of those

551587b5-7952-458c-84de-ed2de9841392-3
00:02:51.178 --> 00:02:52.440
technologies and concepts.

b015d5eb-12e9-4ba9-ae37-c9ee5dbddc3b-0
00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:56.737
Novel concepts related to real
time photorealistic visuals,

b015d5eb-12e9-4ba9-ae37-c9ee5dbddc3b-1
00:02:56.737 --> 00:03:00.374
markless tracking of people's
people or instruments, human

b015d5eb-12e9-4ba9-ae37-c9ee5dbddc3b-2
00:03:00.374 --> 00:03:04.010
interface systems including
haptics and mixed reality, and

b015d5eb-12e9-4ba9-ae37-c9ee5dbddc3b-3
00:03:04.010 --> 00:03:07.523
wearable XR devices could
provide a system that provides

b015d5eb-12e9-4ba9-ae37-c9ee5dbddc3b-4
00:03:07.523 --> 00:03:11.159
significantly more capabilities
that are currently in use.

783bffb6-0ce2-453d-89b5-5469febe5680-0
00:03:12.320 --> 00:03:15.180
I will next provide the critical
gaps for the Holodeck technology

783bffb6-0ce2-453d-89b5-5469febe5680-1
00:03:15.180 --> 00:03:15.440
scope.

2453fa27-b05d-46c8-a685-cfdde5c2e00d-0
00:03:16.360 --> 00:03:20.237
The three most used XR immersion
methods are projection based

2453fa27-b05d-46c8-a685-cfdde5c2e00d-1
00:03:20.237 --> 00:03:23.240
systems, Head mounted displays
or flat screens.

454d1e8f-5885-45fd-9376-ce85d9ebebc6-0
00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:27.080
A CAVE ATANA Automatic Virtual
Environment.

931c6b37-f1b5-48b3-8108-077873b64eae-0
00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:30.743
CAVE is a type of projection
system that can be used to

931c6b37-f1b5-48b3-8108-077873b64eae-1
00:03:30.743 --> 00:03:33.040
provide users with immersive
content.

dbf9e8fe-f244-46e7-a902-16596fab68a7-0
00:03:33.720 --> 00:03:36.466
The Cave consists of a room that
has multiple projectors

dbf9e8fe-f244-46e7-a902-16596fab68a7-1
00:03:36.466 --> 00:03:37.960
displaying content on the wall.

0c159f23-9d62-4ee5-86aa-e0325492d83d-0
00:03:38.560 --> 00:03:41.640
The glasses that users put on
provide stereo capabilities.

4d06e54b-4cc6-432f-aac0-3eb5b04d48f3-0
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:45.037
The users usually interact with
some of the content being

4d06e54b-4cc6-432f-aac0-3eb5b04d48f3-1
00:03:45.037 --> 00:03:46.720
displayed with one like
controllers.

af56ba44-62a9-472f-908b-27a7c0499929-0
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:51.185
The major drawbacks with this
type of system are the scene is

af56ba44-62a9-472f-908b-27a7c0499929-1
00:03:51.185 --> 00:03:54.991
not customizable to individuals,
meaning everyone has to be in

af56ba44-62a9-472f-908b-27a7c0499929-2
00:03:54.991 --> 00:03:56.320
the same virtual area.

6cce8081-3ba3-4908-a44f-fe687f78bc77-0
00:03:56.920 --> 00:03:59.404
The ways that users interact
with the system are typically

6cce8081-3ba3-4908-a44f-fe687f78bc77-1
00:03:59.404 --> 00:04:00.120
very rudimentary.

fba640f0-71da-4881-93d8-7d97d348b2f0-0
00:04:00.640 --> 00:04:03.706
The system is usually limited in
the type of non visual sensory

fba640f0-71da-4881-93d8-7d97d348b2f0-1
00:04:03.706 --> 00:04:04.760
feedback incorporated.

74340993-ed7f-4ad1-8db0-03892e065b08-0
00:04:05.480 --> 00:04:08.628
The system requires significant
space to implement and the high

74340993-ed7f-4ad1-8db0-03892e065b08-1
00:04:08.628 --> 00:04:10.400
cost to deploy this type of
system.

63fd4925-9bda-4603-997c-4d0d84fbe4fc-0
00:04:12.560 --> 00:04:16.253
A headworn display can provide
highly immersive visualization

63fd4925-9bda-4603-997c-4d0d84fbe4fc-1
00:04:16.253 --> 00:04:19.768
for multiple concurrent users
and supports having users at

63fd4925-9bda-4603-997c-4d0d84fbe4fc-2
00:04:19.768 --> 00:04:20.960
different locations.

e46f57f1-a47d-42a8-a86a-76ae79b24691-0
00:04:21.440 --> 00:04:24.283
These types of devices can
usually provide higher

e46f57f1-a47d-42a8-a86a-76ae79b24691-1
00:04:24.283 --> 00:04:27.867
resolution, brighter displays,
do not require a large space to

e46f57f1-a47d-42a8-a86a-76ae79b24691-2
00:04:27.867 --> 00:04:30.824
use, and have a lower cost
implement than CAVE like

e46f57f1-a47d-42a8-a86a-76ae79b24691-3
00:04:30.824 --> 00:04:31.280
systems.

aa72a25e-4f8a-4603-8fb0-e6984a393c70-0
00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:34.526
For those reasons, these types
of systems have become very

aa72a25e-4f8a-4603-8fb0-e6984a393c70-1
00:04:34.526 --> 00:04:34.880
popular.

591c3528-be9b-4d29-b336-34b18d4281ed-0
00:04:35.640 --> 00:04:39.011
Some of the limitations for this
type of system include not being

591c3528-be9b-4d29-b336-34b18d4281ed-1
00:04:39.011 --> 00:04:42.024
able to show immersive content
to a large number of people

591c3528-be9b-4d29-b336-34b18d4281ed-2
00:04:42.024 --> 00:04:45.140
concurrently they can become
uncomfortable to wear and being

591c3528-be9b-4d29-b336-34b18d4281ed-3
00:04:45.140 --> 00:04:48.256
problematic when showing content
to a large number of people

591c3528-be9b-4d29-b336-34b18d4281ed-4
00:04:48.256 --> 00:04:48.920
concurrently.

93c0edcb-b1b2-48cb-bd02-36d267343dd4-0
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:53.572
A flat display such as computer,
monitor, tablet, smartphone,

93c0edcb-b1b2-48cb-bd02-36d267343dd4-1
00:04:53.572 --> 00:04:57.467
etcetera provides accessibility
by a large number of people and

93c0edcb-b1b2-48cb-bd02-36d267343dd4-2
00:04:57.467 --> 00:05:01.240
it can be very portable, for
example smartphones and tablets.

ef3679b4-4878-4930-b53d-47b4c364cf2a-0
00:05:01.760 --> 00:05:03.560
Thus, it is the most widely
used.

e8df373a-66d1-4f37-a0ad-c7a5b2ec9445-0
00:05:04.280 --> 00:05:07.661
The biggest limitation is the
level of immersion that can be

e8df373a-66d1-4f37-a0ad-c7a5b2ec9445-1
00:05:07.661 --> 00:05:10.600
provided along with the
limitations mentioned above.

b251346a-6220-4b4a-bfd3-e0b36dbea55d-0
00:05:10.760 --> 00:05:14.248
These types of systems could
benefit by integrating some of

b251346a-6220-4b4a-bfd3-e0b36dbea55d-1
00:05:14.248 --> 00:05:17.040
the holodeck technologies
mentioned previously.

ef56d901-1f52-4b89-84d2-1f5cfb6d268a-0
00:05:17.960 --> 00:05:20.773
The final critical gap I'll
provide is for the usage for

ef56d901-1f52-4b89-84d2-1f5cfb6d268a-1
00:05:20.773 --> 00:05:22.600
human performance application
scope.

00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:26.995
There are many small businesses
that currently involved in the
