		</div><p>A virtual glimpse into the future of high-speed ground transport has been revealed by a group of engineers and designers, who have envisaged how Elon Musk’s Hyperloop could look.</p>
<p>The immersive virtual reality experience details the exterior and interior design of travel pods, which pass through a station filled with information screens and navigational signage.</p>
<p>As it sets off on its journey, the pod’s curved top half is seen transforming into transparent panels, providing a panoramic view of the outside world.</p>
<p>The virtual model is part of a SpaceX competition entry from Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the Netherlands, an initiative to encourage students to come up with innovative prototypes for Hyperloop.</p>
<p>It is the third time a Hyperloop Pod Competition has been run, with 21 groups from around the globe competing to achieve the fastest top speed along SpaceX’s fully enclosed 1.25km test track.</p>
<p>Delft University previously won the contest in 2017.</p>
<p><em>“At Delft Hyperloop we do not just focus on setting a new speed record at the SpaceX competition, but also on the long-term future of the Hyperloop,”</em> said Rieneke van Noort, team captain of concept, known as Delft Hyperloop III.</p>
<p><em>“A part of this is showing the public what it will be like to travel using this new system.</em></p>
<p><em>“Through VR, we want to enable people to experience the Hyperloop in an interactive and immersive way.</em></p>
<p><em>“It is great to see people’s enthusiasm when they walk through the Hyperloop station and board one of the pods.”</em></p>
<p>Although Mr Musk came up with the concept for Hyperloop, he open-sourced the technology to allow other firms to develop the idea.</p>
<p>In his paper written in 2013, Mr Musk described the system as “a cross between Concorde, a rail gun and an air hockey table”.</p>
