Prototype Evaluation
Critical Deficiencies
Unclear scanner directions/purpose
Lack of freedom to explore

Recommendations for Improvements

Provide information about the arm device application at the beginning
Provide more exploration options

Additional Steps for Design

Design an actual VR Program to simulate the Lunar Surface
Acquire agreement with Museum of Flight
Develop Gravity Harness equipment
