The simulation contains several paragraphs of informational text and a Mars environment the user can traverse. There are 4 different types of rocks and there are 10000 of them scattered over the virtual terrain, which has been designed in a "crater" topoghraphy.
Day and night cycles now show improved light/shadow simulation on the terrain. When the user lands on the surface, the Lander is placed there. Several "points of interest" boulders have been added throughout the landscape, and the user may drive to them. The user interface now shows meters traversed and battery life remaining. The battery usage is NOT simulated according to real time scale. There are three additional rock types. Up to date paragraphs and images have been added to the information text shown during the roving experience.
Note: the program requires a PC with a 3D accelerator card.
