Why NASA Is Blasting Off at CES for the First Time
The space agency is showing how it uses virtual reality to prepare for space travel.
NASA is making its first ever appearance at the Consumer Electronics Show, the technology industry extravaganza in Las Vegas that kicks off Wednesday.
The space agency is giving visitors a virtual or semi-virtual ride on board an Orion spacecraft and a you-are-there perspective of the Kennedy Space Center. To get these experiences, would-be astronauts go through demos using headsets like the Oculus Rift and Microsoft HoloLens.
