NASA has partnered with San Francisco-based Osterhout Design Group to develop smartglasses for deployed astronauts that would allow them to access manuals, checklists, and other computerized features in their viewfinder while keeping their hands free to perform tasks.
Astronauts may soon have a new and wearable high-tech device to help them on future missions.
