Description
<p> Telepresence sessions between the crew, family members and medical doctors require visual and acoustic privacy.&nbsp; This environment is best achieved in the individual crew quarters.&nbsp; A prototype crew quarters was developed and built that would provide both privacy and a safe haven from which to conduct operational activities during solar radiation events.&nbsp;&nbsp; High school and college intern students participated in the design and construction of the crew quarters.&nbsp; 3D video displays and multi-dimension audio systems were evaluated to attempt to achieve a realistic recreation of Earth events.&nbsp; Indirect Light Emitting Diode (LED) lighting was installed to simulate a 24-hour circadian rhythm cycle.</p>
