Victor Luo - 'Walking on Mars'

Friday, July 13, at 7:00 pm

Ramo Auditorium – Donald E. Baxter, M.D., Hall of the 
Humanities and Social Sciences

 This same lecture will be presented the evening before at JPL. See 
About the Series” below.

 Virtual and augmented reality promise to transport us to places 
that we can only imagine. When joined with spacecraft and 
robots, these technologies will extend humanity’s presence to 
real destinations that are equally fantastic. NASA’s Operations 
Laboratory at JPL is spearheading several ambitious projects 
applying virtual and augmented reality to the challenges of space 
exploration. Through partnerships with multiple VR and AR 
companies, scientists on the Curiosity Mars Rover mission are 
exploring the Martian terrain, engineers are finding new ways to 
collaborate on 3D designs, and astronauts on the International 
Space Station are preparing to perform their work more efficiently 
than ever before. The lead of these projects at NASA will share 
their progress so far, the challenges that lie ahead, and their vision 
for the future of VR and AR in space exploration.

Primary Presenter/Speaker

Victor Luo – Operations Lab Lead

Panel Speakers

Alice Winter – User Experience Researcher

Parker Abercrombie – OnSight Project Lead

Abby Fraeman – MSL Scientist

About the Series

 The Theodore von Kármán Lecture Series, named after JPL’s 
founder, and presented by JPL’s Office of Communication and 
Education, brings the excitement of the space program’s missions, 
instruments and other technologies to both JPL employees and 
the local community. Lectures take place twice per month, on 
consecutive Thursdays and Fridays. The Thursday lectures take 
place in JPL’s Theodore von Kármán Auditorium and are streamed 
live via Ustream, and (beginning in July 2018) Friday lectures 
take place at Caltech’s Ramo Auditorium. Both start at 7:00 p.m. 
Admission and parking are free for all lectures, no reservations 
are required, and seating is limited.

 Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

Pictured: Plant explorers Paul and Wilson Popenoe of Altadena’s 
West India Garden visited Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries 
in 1911 seeking exotic fruits and foods to introduce to American 
palettes. Here, Paul stands with date palm offshoots the brothers 
arranged to export back to California.

 In a joint program of Altadena 
Heritage and the Altadena 
Library today at 10:00 a.m. to 
12:00 p.m. Library, Michele 
Zack will tell an interesting, 
illustrated story of Altadena’s 
horticultural past — that 
of the West India Garden. 
Frederick O. Popenoe 
established this nursery in 
1906 to cultivate subtropical 
fruits and other plants in high 
demand from the thousands 
of newcomers pouring into 
Southern California. But the 
Popenoes were far more than 
nurserymen, they were avid 
plant explorerers. Frederick 
sent his sons Paul and Wilson 
to Iraq, Lebanon, Mexico 
and Central America to find 
new fruits and other foods to 
introduce to the United States. 
Dates and avocados were just 
two of their most successful 
plant introductions.
