Google Summer of Code 2014 with the Mars Society

Hi,
We are the Italian chapter of the Mars Society (IMS).
IMS is spearheading the European MaRs Analog Station for Advanced Technologies Integration project (ERAS http://www.erasproject.org). The project aims to address the major issues that could jeopardize a crewed mission to Mars and are not adequately being addressed at existing terrestrial Mars analogs.

We are currently working on an immersive virtual reality simulation of the ERAS Station. This virtualization will be based on the Oculus Rift and on the Omni. The major advantage of such virtualization is that it will be possible to undertake training sessions with a crew that can interact with its future environment before the actual station is built.

We have been accepted this year as an official Google Summer of Code 2014 (GSoC) mentor organization.

GSoC is a global program that offers students stipends to write code for open source projects.
If you are a student and interested in working in the Oculus integration project we propose:

please come talk to us on the erasproject@googlegroups.com mailing list.

Until March 21st students can apply from the GSOC http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2014 home page

Thanks

Franco
