KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 -- Just months after its first passenger testing – whereby Tanay Manjrekar became the first Indian to ride hyperloop – Virgin Hyperloop has unveiled its vision for the future hyperloop experience.
According to a statement, the newly-released concept video takes the viewer step-by-step through a hyperloop journey, from arriving at the portal to boarding the pod.
The designs showcased in the video are indicative of what global hyperloop systems would look like, including for operations in India.
Virgin Hyperloop worked with world-class partners across disparate industries to design a comprehensive, multi-sensory passenger experience that surpasses that of any other form of mass transit.
This includes Bjarke Ingels Group for the portal designs; Teague for the pod designs; SeeThree for the video and animation; and, Man Made Music for the score and sonic identity.
Far from a dystopian future where dark colours, stark lighting, and screens abound, Virgin Hyperloop’s counter narrative is a more optimistic view of the future: a greener, smoother, safer, and more pleasant mass transit experience.
A key pillar of Virgin Hyperloop’s passenger experience is accessibility, ensuring that this new form of transportation will expand opportunities for the masses.
Following its successful passenger testing, Virgin Hyperloop is currently paving the way for the regulation and certification of hyperloop systems worldwide – including those in India.
The company is working on the Mumbai-Pune hyperloop project, which would connect the cities in under 25 minutes with zero direct emissions.
