Europe's first Hyperloop facility was unveiled in Delft on Thursday and aims to cut down the commute between European capitals to a matter of minutes. Hyperloop creators teamed up with Dutch organisation Hardt, the Technical University of Delft, and construction company BAM for the project. The consortium hope that Hyperloop will soon shoot passengers at breakneck speeds in driverless pods through low-pressure tubes throughout the continent. First tests are to be launched in the end of 2017 with the first hyperloop line to be up and running by 2019.
It's been a dream of humans to fly through the sky at least since the time of Leonardo Da Vinci. Although we now have jetpacks and wingsuits, there wasn't a way for us to experience the sensation of flying between skyscrapers until now. This is Birdly, a virtual reality flying simulator that, unlike Red Bull, actually gives you wings. People were seen flapping virtual wings on Birdly at the 2017 SXSW festival on Wednesday. Birdly, the full-body virtual reality flying simulator, combines VR, music, and a wind generator to create the sensation of flying. Users flat their arms on the machine to flap wings in the simulation and generate lift. The idea for Birdly was conceived for a research project at the Zurich University of the Arts in 2013 and it was brought out onto the market in December 2015. How would you like to be free as a bird?
The Japanese city of Iruma is advocating a new policy to help treat people with dementia. Officials unveiled tiny nail stickers, each of which contains a unique QR identity number to help track senior citizens with dementia. The free service, the first of its kind in Japan, was launched this month to help elderly citizens who may get lost due to their illness. Police can obtain an address, telephone number and other info by simply by scanning the small, water-resistant code. The stickers, which stay attached for about 2 weeks, can also be applied to key chains or shoe seals. The World Health Organization estimates that around 36 million people suffer from dementia worldwide.
