Hyperloop - this genious mode of transportation elaborated by SpaceX and Tesla - has caught the international attention again by one of its innovative features.
This project route linking major cities in a minimal time is, however, criticized due to its phenomenal cost and its potential inconveniences for passengers - namely the noise produced by air compression and speed, or even the fact that it doesn't have windows.
But TechCrunch has recently revealed a solution for this last problem: despite the absence of windows, passengers will have the impression to look at a landscape from their seats. This will be made possible by the "Zoetrope" effect, an old visual technique that creates the illusion of motion by putting side to side several images. The succession of these images, shown with a high speed (as Hyperloop can reach more that 1000 km/h ), will make you see an "animation" and think you're actually watching a landscape from the window.
