IDVS: Immersive Design & Validation Space XR modular framework

Modular XR infrastructure for immersive design

Immersive technologies can help overcome those limitations by minimizing the dependency on the physical prototyping of assets and help condense the iterative evaluation/implementation process optimizing the transition from design to human-in-the-loop testing. The purpose of this project is to create an MR (Mixed Reality) modular infrastructure to bring the design of space hardware to the virtual space.

IDVS allows binding together reality and digital spaces seamlessly, enabling unprecedented l evels of interaction in Virtual Reality simulations thanks to the introduction of low-fidelity mockups bonded with their digital twins.

This infrastructure has been developed at Sasakawa International Center for Space Architecture’s immersive laboratory as a breakthrough towards the implementation of those technologies in space hardware testing.
