If you used something like google maps to create a 360° Topographical map of an area on Mars could you use it to create a virtual simulated reality similarly to how you would manipulate google maps street view?
If the range in diameter of the camera taking in/mapping its surroundings and signal speed is greater then distance the rover can travel, could you interact with static objects in what would be an artificial virtual real time?
If that makes sense, obviously the action wouldn’t take place in real time hence only being able to interact with static objects.
As the map expands and becomes more accurate could you begin a task on earth from (beginning to end) remotely in a “realistic recreation virtual reality” in what appears like a real time action that would begin and end 20min after on Mars in what would be the rovers real time?
