High Speed Trains,

or Hyperloops,


as they are sometimes called, above is the Dubai Hyperloop which is being designed by Virgin Hyperloop One and BIG, seem to be getting nearer to us lesser mortals, and now some thought has been given to how we would view the outside world as we race through it at up to and even above speeds of 680 miles per hour (1,100 kilometres per hour), it appears that the best way to view the outsides at this speed is through a rounded window, 

passengers will have the illusion they are travelling in a transparent tube, the high-speed transportation system's tubes will feature small circular windows that work in the style of a zoetrope — a device popular in the 19th century, which creates the illusion of motion, when hyperloop pods move at fast enough speeds views through the windows will merge to create the impression of a continuous view, the Video shared on Twitter by Virgin Hyperloop One's chief technology officer Josh Giegel, design lead at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), show how the effect would work. how neat is that?
