NASA Beamed a Doctor to The ISS in a World-First ‘Holoportation’ Achievement.
Science Alert:
PETER DOCKRILL
There’s never been a house call quite like this. In a first for telepresence communication, a NASA flight surgeon was ‘holoported’ to the International Space Station (ISS), appearing and conversing as a virtual presence in real time, hundreds of miles above the surface of Earth.
If it sounds like Star Trek, you’re not too far off. (after all, Star Trek: Voyager did feature an artificial physician who was a holographic projection.)
But this isn’t science fiction. When NASA flight surgeon Josef Schmid was beamed up to the ISS in October of last year, the illusion was made possible thanks to Microsoft’s ‘holoportation’ technology, which lets users interact with 3D representations of remote participants in real time.
“This is [a] completely new manner of human communication across vast distances,” says Schmid. “It is a brand-new way of human exploration, where our human entity is able to travel off the planet.”

When I first saw the title I thought, “I don’t blame the doctor not wanting to show up in person to treat someone in ISIS.” 😂

& the Vulcan sign???
what next? “Klaatu barada nikto”?
“Uh, Doc? All I see is blue ocean…”
“Oh. That’s Microsoft. It’s their ‘Blue Screen Of Death.’ Try not to let it bother you.”
“Thanks a lot, Doc, but I don’t feel good.”
“Take two tablets in the Blue pouch and call me in the morning. But maybe not on a Blue Screen. Got something else?”
