Curious about the unknown terrains of cold dessert world of Mars, filled with canyons, volcanoes, craters all over it? Want to get a taste of what it feels like being on Mars? Well, guess what your dreams has come true.

NASA has been offering virtual-reality of Mars for some time. But now with Google’s help, users can experience the actual rusty rocks, bright, chilly and warm surface, all of which were explored first hand by NASA’s Curiosity rover. Google has collaborated with NASA for rolling out a WebVR based website by the name of ‘**Access Mars**’. This basically transports users from the realm of fantasy to the mind-boggling domain for twisted reality. It is created utilizing WebVR, an innovation that gives clients a chance to encounter virtual reality ideal in browser, without installing any of the applications.

**Access Mars** lays out a 3D terrain for 5 spots scanned by NASA’s Curiosity rover. The tour can be experienced via desktop browser on mobile devices as a head-tracking display seen through a Cardboard-style viewer, and on virtual reality and augmented reality headsets. NASA claims that the experience was adapted from '**OnSight**' software, which is used to help scientist visualize the rover’s surroundings as they plan its route to begin the journey.

>_We've been able to leverage VR and AR technologies to take our scientists to Mars every single day - Said Victor Luo, project manager at JPL's Ops Lab._

With **Access Mars**, everyone in the world can ride along. Google say's that JPL will regularly update the data so that users can see where Curiosity has just been in the past few days or weeks. During your play, one of the JPL scientist will be your guide, explaining key points, sharing information about the rover, the mission, and some of the early findings.

I personally think that this is a very exciting project and especially for kids. For all those nerdy kids who often lands you in a 'nowhere' situation with their crazy questions. It's time to experience the un-experienced.
