NASA recruits astronauts using an interactive comic strip

To attract new recruits, the agency has released a graphic novel with augmented reality.

The US space agency faces a shortage of astronauts. So, they have decided to do something about it, using an unusual approach, more specifically, by releasing a graphic novel utilising AR technology. The piece's title is "First Woman". It tells the story of a girl named Callie Rodriguez, who dreams of going to the moon.

You have to download a special app to scan the codes on the book's pages to read the novel. Thus, it allows readers to fully immerse themselves into the story by looking at the moon through the main character's eyes. Moreover, the creators have provided several exciting mini-games and an achievement system for all to enjoy.
