This Is What Traveling By Hyperloop Could Look Like


Hello World.I'm Imagination.In this video, I'm going to talk about how traveling by hyperloop could look like.Hyperloop, It’s an ambitious vision of the future of transportation. The experience seems reminiscent of going to an airport to catch a plane. The interior of the shuttle, however, feels more inspired by rail travel, with wide-open cabins and face-to-face seating.The biggest difference, however, is that there are no windows — except for what appears to be a generous skylight above. That’s because the magnetically levitating pod is racing through a vacuum tube at speeds of up to 760 miles per hour.To make it feel less claustrophobic, the design team is focusing on bringing the outside in. “Bands of greenery and wood textures subvert the aesthetic of typical mass transit materials with something optimistic and fresh,” John Barratt, CEO, and president of design company Teague, which designed the pod interiors, said in a statement.“All lighting in the pod — including the unassuming information displays — are dynamic and adjust based on traveler activity and journey milestones,” Barratt said.It’s a futuristic mode of transportation that won’t begin commercial operations until at least 2030, according to Virgin.But it has made some headway with the technology. A first passenger test of the system back in November managed to accelerate two Virgin Hyperloop execs to a speed of 107 miles per hour in just 6.25 seconds.“It felt not that much different than accelerating in a sports car,” Virgin Hyperloop co-founder and first passenger Josh Giegel told The New York Times at the time.In the future, Virgin Hyperloop is hoping to transport thousands of passengers an hour inside large convoys of 28-passenger-capacity pods. The individual pods will be within milliseconds of each other during travel, according to the company.The company is now trying to figure out a way to drive down costs to make it more affordable than flying. “It’s simple. If it’s not affordable, people won’t use it,” Jay Walder, CEO of Virgin Hyperloop, said in the statement.“Daily high-speed transport is currently not feasible for most people, but we want to change that notion,” Walder said. “Imagine being able to commute between cities that are currently hours apart in minutes — and the endless possibilities that open up.”That's all for today.Thanks for watching.
