Microsoft HoloLens takes augmented reality to space

Astronauts are known to be surrounded by some of the best and most advanced innovations the tech world has to offer. It’s a geek’s paradise. Proving it’s also the best place to try out new tech, astronaut Scott Kelly tweets a photo of him donning a pair of Microsoft HoloLens on the International Space Station (ISS). It isn't surprising that the HoloLens shows up aboard the ISS as NASA tested the device last year with its Weightless Wonder C9 jet for an experiment called Project Sidekick. The project used HoloLens to help astronauts communicate with ground operators and get more use out of existing devices on the ISS. Now, it isn’t known how Kelly is using the HoloLens up there but it could help with things like complex repairs being done in orbit.
