We aim to showcase recent planetary data in a new, and extremely low-cost, virtual reality system, by developing an app for Google Cardboard. Once the app has been developed, we aim to get people interested in planetary science through immersive public talks/activities that can travel to different festivals across the UK, including some non-science festivals, so that we can reach the broadest number of people. We will also engage school teachers with the technology and run a focus group to best practice use of the app in their classroom. We aim to reach over 1000 people through science festivals and targeted immersive talks. Our long-term aim beyond this project is to ensure that our app will be one of the most exciting methods of engaging with the ExoMars rover mission when it touches down in 2019. We will use this pilot study to develop the technology and do some formative evaluation so we can refine the events and activities for our different target audiences.

我们的目标是通过为Google Cardboard开发应用程序，在一个新的、成本极低的虚拟现实系统中展示最近的行星数据。一旦应用程序开发完成，我们的目标是通过沉浸式的公共演讲/活动让人们对行星科学感兴趣，这些活动可以参加英国各地的不同节日，包括一些非科学节日，这样我们就可以接触到最广泛的人群。我们还将让学校教师参与这项技术，并组建一个焦点小组，以在课堂上最好地使用该应用程序。我们的目标是通过科学节和有针对性的沉浸式讲座接触1000多人。我们在这个项目之外的长期目标是确保我们的应用程序在2019年着陆时成为与ExoMars探测器使命接触的最令人兴奋的方法之一。我们将利用这项试点研究来开发技术，并进行一些形成性评估，以便我们可以为不同的目标受众改进活动和活动。
