ABSTRACT
A virtual camera (VC) encapsulates the "third person view" concept. This paper presents the VC perspective in planetary exploration. The concept was initially designed to support astronauts driving a Lunar rover. We extended the VC concept to robotic support to planetary exploration from the Earth. Human-computer interaction properties are presented together with a use case. FUiihermore, the VC concept can be extended to a collaborative sensing-acting multi-agent system that is introduced in the balance of the paper.
