NASA has introduced groundbreaking Instagram filters for virtual space exploration, departing from the ordinary by offering three-dimensional (3D) artificial reality filters. Developed using data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes, these filters mark the observatory’s 25th anniversary.
The filters showcase intricate three-dimensional depictions of cosmic phenomena like the Vela Pulsar, Tycho’s Supernova Remnant, Helix Nebula, and Cat’s Eye Nebula. Employing advanced mathematical modeling techniques, NASA has created these cosmic representations.
What sets these filters apart is their immediate accessibility without requiring an Instagram update.
To utilize NASA’s 3D Instagram filters, follow these simple steps:
- Open Instagram.
- Search for the “NASAChandraXray” profile.
- Tap on the effects icon adjacent to the “Reels” icon.
- Choose from five different AR filters and tap “Try it.”
- The Instagram app will open an in-app camera, applying the chosen filter on the screen.
These filters are a limited edition, available for free access for at least six months. Users can immerse themselves in the wonders of space exploration through these innovative tools, thanks to NASA’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technologies for public engagement.
