NASA has always been committed to exploring the integration of MR technology into astronaut helmets, aiming to directly present various key information within the field of view of astronauts. To achieve this goal, NASA has adopted various methods, including internal independent research and development, external bidding projects, and actively organizing team competitions.

At present, the highly anticipated “NASA Spacesuit User Interface Technologies for Students (NASA SUITS)” student competition is about to kick off, with the competition scheduled from May 18th to 22nd. At that time, student teams from ten universities including Northeastern University in the United States will gather at the Johnson Space Center in Houston for intense competition. They will explore and design a practical and effective MR system around NASA’s long-term lunar settlement development plan.
The core goal of the NASA SUITS Design Challenge is to invite college students from across the United States to unleash their creativity and design user interface solutions that meet the needs of future space missions. After layers of screening, 10 universities stood out and qualified for the on-site competition at the Johnson Space Center in Houston.

During the competition, each participating team has ample space for independent design. They can freely choose suitable equipment based on their understanding and preferences to design the display scheme for their spacesuits. However, there is a mandatory requirement that head mounted displays must use perspective MR technology to ensure that astronauts can still perceive the actual environment around them clearly while obtaining virtual information.
