Asking Questions Of The Moon
This project shows an example of how engineers, mission planners and interested hobbyists can talk to 4 decades of publicly available lunar data. As we collect more data, we need to find new and better ways to interact with it. While a lot of NASA data is openly available in theory, it's not easily accessible in practice.
"Asking Questions Of The Moon" combines publicly available data into one corpus that can be interrogated interactively by talking to a conversational AI agent in augmented reality.
The architecture of the project is specifically designed to prevent false visual information being shown to the user. As our interactions with AI agents become ever more entangled and powerful, we need to still be able to trust our eyes. Additionally, the system's design supports easy integration of newly available data sources as they arrive through downlinks from aircraft during a mission.
