Washington: NASA has launched a hologram system that transported the presence of human beings on Earth to the International Space Station ( ISS). A NASA doctor appeared as a hologram at the International Space Station for a telemedicine visit with an astronatu.

Dr. Josef Schmid and his crew were holoported to the ISS using the Microsoft Hololens Kinect camera and a personal computer with custom software Aexa, according to an April 8 release from NASA. Schmid had a virtual conversation with astronaut Thomas Pesquet as part of a 3D telemedicine visit.

"It is a brand new way of human exploration, where our human entity is able to travel off the planet. Our physical body is not there, but our human entity absolutely is there." Nasa Officials said.
