Space News from Virtual Amanda Bush

Here is the latest Virtual SpaceTV 3D show, which was created by BINARY SPACE with story content from HobbySpace. Virtual presenter Amanda Bush reports on the launch of the European Space Agency's ATV cargo truck to the International Space Station, on the upcoming ISS cargo flight by SpaceX, and on the research showing that many of the billions of red dwarf stars in the galaxy should have earth-sized planets in their habitable zones. The program ends with spaceweatherman James C. Birk discussing recent solar activity, brilliant aurora and a comet diving into the sun.

..

Previous Virtual SpaceTV 3D shows are available on the HobbySpace Youtube Channel.

These videos are intended as demonstrations of an experimental technique for generating animated presentations. The show was generated autonomously by software and without human interaction. The project is described in the Virtual Producer whitepaper (pdf). For further information contact info@binary-space.com. (Note that the virtual voices have taken another step forward towards a more natural sound.)
