See full text

A method and system for exploring a remote environment from an environment simulator at a local base is disclosed. The system includes: at least one proxy robot in the remote environment with at least one near-field and at least one high resolution 360-degree far field video camera; at least one additional device at the remote environment to capture images and data; a transmitter at the remote environment to transmit the video and data to the local base; a terrain analysis computer at the local base to receive and process the video and data to generate a 360-degree approximated real time (ART) video field representing a terrain surrounding the at least one proxy robot; a display in the environment simulator to display the ART video field for at least one user; a full body motion capture suit marked to the dimensions of the at least one user; and a plurality of motion capture video cameras to capture each position change in the motion capture suit, wherein activities performed virtually in the environment simulator represent the identical activities to be performed by the proxy robot in the terrain of the remote environment.
