KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 29 -- Just months after its first passenger testing – whereby Tanay Manjrekar became the first Indian to ride hyperloop – Virgin Hyperloop has unveiled its vision for the future hyperloop experience.
According to a statement, the newly-released concept video takes the viewer step-by-step through a hyperloop journey, from arriving at the portal to boarding the pod. The designs showcased in the video are indicative of what global hyperloop systems would look like, including for operations in India. Virgin Hyperloop worked with world-class partners across disparate industries to design a comprehensive, multi-sensory passenger experience that surpasses that of any other form of mass transit. This includes Bjarke Ingels Group for the portal designs; Teague for the pod designs; SeeThree for the video and animation; and, Man Made Music for the score and sonic identity. Far from a dystopian future where dark colours, stark lighting, and screens abound, Virgin Hyperloop’s counter narrative is a more optimistic view of the future: a greener, smoother, safer, and more pleasant mass transit experience. A key pillar of Virgin Hyperloop’s passenger experience is accessibility, ensuring that this new form of transportation will expand opportunities for the masses. Following its successful passenger testing, Virgin Hyperloop is currently paving the way for the regulation and certification of hyperloop systems worldwide – including those in India. The company is working on the Mumbai-Pune hyperloop project, which would connect the cities in under 25 minutes with zero direct emissions. -- BERNAMA

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 25 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), the security, performance, and reliability company helping to build a better Internet, today announced Project Fair Shot to offer a free and fair way for vaccine distributors around the world to use digital queues to safely scale their efforts. Project Fair Shot will enable any government, municipality, hospital, pharmacy, or other organization facilitating the distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine access to Cloudflare Waiting Room, a transparent digital queue that sits in front of any registration website for people to know where they stand in line to sign up for a vaccine without leaving home. By relying on Cloudflare’s global infrastructure, Project Fair Shot can scale regardless of demand without requiring organizations to dedicate limited IT resources to code changes. “It's been incredible how quickly the scientific community came together to develop multiple COVID-19 vaccines. At Cloudflare, we wanted to lend our technical expertise and infrastructure to now help ensure the vaccine is fairly and efficiently distributed,” said Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare. “With Project Fair Shot, we're providing our Waiting Room technology at no cost to ensure that any organization charged with distributing the vaccine can do so in a way that is equitable and without requiring new technological investment.” Cloudflare Waiting Rooms can be deployed in front of any registration website without requiring engineering or coding. Each person requesting a vaccine appointment will get confirmation that they are in a queue. When their time is up, they will be directed to the organization’s signup page. Waiting Rooms can be further configured by each distributor to provide registrants with their estimated wait time, and in the future, to send alerts as their turn approaches. While Project Fair Shot makes this available at no charge to vaccine distributors, Cloudflare Waiting Room also allows organizations of all kinds with high demand for a resource — be it concert tickets, new edition sneakers, or vaccines — to allow individuals to queue and then fairly allocate access. Vaccine distributors can sign up on the waitlist today at https://cloudflare.com/fair-shot. To learn more, please check out the resources below:
