I drive Curiosity and that's how I often view our raw downlink images. They aren't stereograms, but the left and right eyes are next to each other on the report, so I just cross my eyes to get the stereo and scroll the page. Works great but despite my trying to spread the good word I think I'm the only rover planner who does this.

- jasmcole 2y agoWow! I just checked your CV (we were at Cambridge at the same time :) ), and I will never dismiss a Geography degree again!
- gorlilla 2y agoToo late.
- foobarbecue 2y agoHonestly... it turned out alright but I wish I had done something more rigorous in undergrad. I had to do a lot of math self-teaching to catch up for grad school. The most useful stuff I learned at Cambridge was from the caving club and from my mathmo / compsci housemates. Also, thanks for the reminder to update my cv X-D
- Auracle 2y agoIt might be overkill but a VR headset would make that significantly easier for people.
- foobarbecue 2y agoWe actually use NVIDIA 3D Vision 2 in 3D simulation environments during planning. It's great but quite hard to keep it working because NVIDIA doesn't support it any more. Our software falls back to analgyph for systems that can't run the 3D Vision and I end up using anaglyph a lot and it's totally fine. We've experimented with VR a bit but it hasn't caught on yet. We've also been trying a few other 3D display technologies.
