Description:

The AARON system is a reactive, integrated augmented reality (AR) system developed with considerations for collaborative activity. The underlying software architecture and design allows for bi-directional interactions and collaboration between human crewmembers, virtual agents that manage the system and EVA timeline, and robotic systems or smart tools that an astronaut may interact with during an exploration EVA (xEVA). AARON is under development as part of the NASA SUITS Challenge by the ATR_Flux team. The ATR_Flux team was awarded a place in the top 10 teams of the challenge with AARON, and produced a paper that won best paper award in the IHCI 2020 conference.
