AEXA takes holoportation into space.

Holoportation is a capture technology that allows high-quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed and transmitted live anywhere in real time. When combined with mixed reality displays such as HoloLens, it allows users to see, hear, and interact with remote participants in 3D as if they are actually present in the same physical space.

AEXA Aerospace have developed this technology for long years. In recent months, NASA used this mechanism to bring NASA flight surgeon Dr. Josef Schmid onto the International Space Station. Schmid was joined on this transdimensional journey by Fernando De La Peña Llaca, the CEO of AEXA Aerospace.

"It is a brand new way of human exploration where our human entity is able to travel off the planet," Schmid said. "Our physical body is not there, but our human entity absolutely is there.”
This technology could help with extraterrestrial telemedicine for astronauts, ISS building projects and even greatly benefit future deep space exploration. It is a great science advance for aerospace industry. In addition, NASA says this could have direct applications on Earth, like for researchers working in extreme environments or military operation specialists.

​This new form of communication is a precursor for more extensive use on future missions. Plans are to use this next with two-way communication, where people on Earth are holoported to space and astronauts are placed back on earth.
“Imagine you can bring the best instructor or the actual designer of a particularly complex technology right beside you wherever you might be working on it. Furthermore, we will combine augmented reality with haptics. You can work on the device together, much like two of the best surgeons working during an operation. This would put everyone at rest knowing the best team is working together on a critical piece of hardware,” Schmid said.
