Ride the Hyperloop in VR With This 360-Degree Video

Elon Musk is full of crazy ideas, the only difference is he gets out there and makes them happen quicker than most people. With development work on the Hyperloop progressing nicely, SpaceX has now shared a short 360-degree video of one of the latest Hyperloop demonstrations, which was being tested on a short track.

It was shot using a 360-degree camera, making it VR headset compatible, during the recent Hyperloop Pod Competition, which was created to showcase the viable designs created for the ultra-fast public transit system.

The video can be viewed using Chrome, YouTube apps or Jaunt VR App, and supports Samsung Gear VR, Google Daydream, HTC Vive, and Oculus Rift.

Another competition is set to launch this summer, and we can expect more revelations from the team when that happens too.

Check out the video below!
