The following discussion outlines a few of the various applications possible utilizing Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technology in the aerospace industry. Not only will applications be identified within payload processing, but also some additional applications unique to AR technology. Any technologies in their infancy have technical challenges, and these are no exception. A brief discussion of these challenges will be beneficial in accurately describing their current development status. This discussion is motivated by actual research initiatives that have begun at the Kennedy Space Center within the Payload Customer Outreach Office. It is intended to be an introduction to these emerging technologies, but an attempt will be made to be rigorous without having rigor mortise. Although the process is still in it's infancy, the technologies show great promise.
