It won't be long before store shelves are filled with virtual reality headsets. NASA, wanting to get in on the game, is preparing a new playable mission to Mars.
NASA, in collaboration with MIT student Sydney Do and media group Fusion, is building a virtual reality experience on Mars. The program will be compatible with the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR headsets, which are expected to hit stores soon.
Game developers will also be used to help complete the end-user experience. It is said that there will be some kind of mission, which should include using a rover on the surface of Mars.
Everything will be an accurate representation of the big red planet. NASA's VR program is expected to be available before the end of 2016.
