Learn more at indg.com/vr-app-hyperloop What is the Hyperloop? Hyperloop is a technology that enables rapid long-distance travel, combining the ease of a train with the swiftness of a plane. A journey from Amsterdam to Paris takes over 3 hours on high-speed trains. With the Hyperloop, this would be reduced to around 30 minutes, reaching speeds of up 1200km/h. The Hyperloop technology was conceived by Elon Musk’s Space X in a whitepaper they published in 2013. Inspired by that groundwork, the TU Delft team built a working prototype of the pod. This is due to be tested early next year in California as part of the SpaceX Hyperloop pod competition. Read more at: http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop
