Augmented Reality Windows Could be in Hyperloop Transportation Technologies’ Future
In an interview with TechCrunch, Hyperloop Transportation Technologies CEO Dirk Ahlborn described his plans for the future of transportation including, but not limited to, Augmented Reality-assisted windows for passengers. Ahlborn suggested in the TechCrunch interview that the passenger’s experience would permit immersive as well as shared experiences, rather than the isolating ones involving Virtual Reality as proposed for airplanes.
The project mentioned is currently being studied as part of a partnership with RE’FLEKT, a German company in which Bosch has recently invested. RE’FLEKT and Hyperloop Transportation Technologies presented the concept using an Augmented Reality Wall during the Natrans-Arabia 2015 Trade Fair in Abu Dhabi. The interactive display shown in Abu Dhabi illustrates how Augmented Reality can also be integrated into the transportation system’s information management services for use by professionals building or servicing the future system’s components, or to educate investors, partners or passengers.
