Exploration of Mars Using Augmented Reality

We describe our preliminary work on the scope for augmented reality being used in the exploration of Mars. This would be the potential use case of augmented reality and can also help the better understanding of the Mars surface and its environment. The application could be a practical use case for education and research on Mars. We also focus on providing this system to mass people which could help in evolving and bringing out efficient ways for exploration and colonization of Mars.
