N° 21–2011: First 3D video transmission live from space
18 August 2011
A live 3D transmission was made for the first time from the International Space Station (ISS) on 6 August. As well as from providing an unprecedented live visual experience of the ISS for viewers on Earth, the ESA-developed 3D camera also opens up the use of 3D imagery for possible future support of ISS operations.
A 3D clip from this first 'historic' transmission was just posted on the ESA web site, and on the ESA YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/esa.
