Immersive stereo vision is also available for images marked with a white border on the sol overview page. Use the panorama icon for an external immersive view or the built-in viewer with the Vision Pro icon, both shown in the image detail view.
Images taken only a few hours ago on planet Mars by NASA Perseverance Rover currently driving in and around Jezero Crater are shown with the areoHDR app. With HDR, the images glow brightly in high contrast on the screen, not visible here in the screenshots as it can only be experienced on the device.
This is currently the only app showing real Mars images in high dynamic range (HDR) and color calibrated for human vision, bringing the experience human explorers on Mars would have themselves to Apple devices. To navigate through the sols (days on Mars since landing) and images of each sol, either tap on the two up/down buttons on the right side, swipe horizontally or vertically, or rotate the wheel with the sol numbers.
The images are taken by the 20-megapixel Nacvam pair inside the rover's "head" 2m above the surface, the two 20MP front and rear Hazcam pairs near the ground, Watson Camera on the robotic arm, and Cachecam in the underside sample storage bay.
The HDR effect with its flowing bright high contrast colors is currently only available in the 2D view on Vision Pro, not the 3D stereo view.
The raw image data used to produce the color processed images is publicly provided by NASA / JPL-Caltech. The color processed images shown by the App are separate derived data products and created by the App author's system.
