I didn’t work on this project, but I am happy to see it released by my group: this is a quick Kinect game replicating the “seven minutes of terror” NASA will experience as they bring the new Curiosity rover to a safe landing on Mars this August 5th. We’ve been talking with NASA about various collaborations for a long time and it’s great to see this free app hit the Xbox dashboard today.
Microsoft and NASA have teamed up on a Mars rover landing game that lets you try to successfully land the craft on the planet.
