Abstract We describe our preliminary work on the scope for augmented reality being used in the exploration of Mars. This would be the potential use case of augmented reality and can also help the better understanding of the Mars surface and its environment. The application could be a practical use case for education and research on Mars. We also focus on providing this system to mass people which could help in evolving and bringing out efficient ways for exploration and colonization of Mars. Keywords Augmented reality

1 Introduction The augmented reality is the dilution of the virtual information to the real world to make it more interactive and understandable, as we define, can be used for the exploration of Mars. The exploration of Mars has long been subject of interest to the scientist and researchers. Various probes and rovers have been sent from Earth to gather information of the surface as well as the environment of Mars. With the commendable increase in the knowledge and data available about Martian system, the exploration of Mars could be made more interactive using augmented reality. With the data sets, for example, elevation of Mars surface and position of craters M. Arya (&) S. Hassan S. Binjola P.

could help us to augment the surface of Mars and understand it better and more efficiently. Making the data sets available to the public, through augmenting it can help with various innovative and efficient ideas for the exploration of Mars which could fuel up for human motivation for colonization of Mars. As scientist’s studies show possibility of human colonization of Mars [1], augmented reality could enable in viewing the three-dimensional surface and exploring the environment of Mars with least number of requirements and least amount of money by saving high amount of fuel, nuclear energy, magnetic energy, or antimatter which is consumed by a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Mars.

Background and Related Work
With promising researches on augmented reality technology in recent years and NASA’s curiosity mission, it is possible to expand the augmented reality applications for the exploration of Mars with the data sets available till now. The main goal of curiosity mission was to determine whether Mars can ever support life, as well as understand the role of water, and to study the climate and geology of Mars [2]. A new technology was developed by NASA and Microsoft in 2015 which will use the data provided by real rovers to enhance
