NASA scientists used a simple personal laptop with special AEXA software installed along with a Microsoft Hololens Kinect camera to project their images aboard the ISS. Holoportation allows staff, scientists, and collaborators to communicate with astronauts and can give them the advantage of being able to interact with the ISS environment and the people in it in a unique way that has never been done before.
The communication technology, known as Holowizard, has been installed on the ISS as well as at mission control and in other key points for NASA, allowing astronauts, engineers, medical personnel, and others to holoport to the ISS.
