One of the most important insights that we got from Jay was an understanding of the difficulties that arise from being in an environment like the moon. For instance, pressurized suits make it incredibly difficult to move, making gestural control systems difficult. Additionally, LED displays often were not clear in conditions of drastic lighting.

These first-hand user insights inspired us to integrate mix-reality experiences and voice technology into our interface to make lunar exploration tasks easier for the users. With the development of AR headsets, we currently have viable alternatives that might provide a usable, clear and helpful user interface that helps an astronaut orient themselves, have certainty that their suits are safe, and provides tools for clear documentation of geological or navigational tasks.
