DOMAIN RESEARCH on hyperloop
Understanding how Hyperlook works
Visual design
Based on inputs from the engineering team we created renders of the pod and visualized how the pod might look like in action traveling across cities.
low fi wireframing - Site architecture
As a team we discussed what information would be needed to convey what CMU Hyperloop is all about. The web presence needed to be appealing to garner attention from sponsors for constructing the pod, attract student engineers to be part of the team and also to boost the existing teams enthusiasm. The website also needed to be simple enough to understand for the common man.
TELEOPERATION INTERFACE
WHAT was achieved
It was a great experience to witness what brilliant interdisciplinary teams can accomplish together. The website aided in establishing CMU Hyperloops digital presence, getting new sponsors and in recruiting new student engineers for developing the pod prototype.
