Depending on how you play the role of the player, you will be able to play Nasa's latest video.

The space agency has filmed the first ever 8K footage from the orbiting International Space Station (ISS).

For reference, 8K is a resolution of 7,680 × 4,320 resolution or 4K resolution. There's a good chance you can not even own a computer capable of displaying 8K content.

If you do, you can watch over three minutes of gloriously detailed footage of astronauts floating around doing space stuff.

'This new footage showcases the story of human spaceflight in more detail than ever before,' said Dylan Mathis, communications manager for the International Space Station Program at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston.

'The world of camera technology continues to progress, and sees our planet in high fidelity is always welcome.

'We're excited to see what imagery comes down in the future.'

The footage was shot by the American company RED that's more commonly used to shoot Hollywood blockbusters.

It was actually shipped up to the ISS back in April, but Nasa has just gotten around to putting something together and posting it online.

'We're excited to embrace this new technology,' said David Brady, Assistant Program Scientist for the International Space Science Program Science Office at Johnson.
