Unmanned Spaceflight.com _ Mars _ A quick thank-you to all putting together the anaglyphs

Posted by: HSchirmer Mar 21 2022, 10:57 PM

Just a quick note
-Thanks to everyone who has spent the time putting together the 3d anaglyphs.

I recently upgraded from the (IIRC) antique National-Geographic-cut-out style thick-paper red/blue glasses to an actual pair of glasses (sunglasses style) for viewing 3D.

It really does make you feel like you're standing there looking around.

Tangent- what sort of 3D setup do the actual rover-drivers use? Active shutter glasses, red/blue, or something else?

So - due to the move to remote operations (and MSL is still remote right now) the active shutter glasses are not an option for our Rover Planners over VNC - so they've been using the red/blue glasses at home.

We wrote up an article about the move to remote ops for IEEE - and it's here - https://trs.jpl.nasa.gov/handle/2014/51708 - Page 9 mentions that specific challenge.

I believe the Mars 2020 RPs have been largely working in person at JPL and so probably have that 3D active option. Not all the RPs find it beneficial - infact I believe the off-planet record holder for total distance didn't use either option.
