AR medical training at the European Astronaut Centre

As part of their basic astronaut training, the astronaut candidates receive medical training to learn the basics of human anatomy and physiology. This ensures they understand the effects of spaceflight on humans. As part of this training, they received training with the Hololens2, an augmented reality application that projects information in front of the user and serves as a guide during operational tasks. The Hololens2 (or similar AR devices) will be used more for training and to guide advanced medical procedures on the Space Station.
