Intelligent
network transport device. Concept and design by Torkel Döhmers.
| NetPod
is a single person transport device for communal use. Totally
automatic with a voice controlled interface. Everybody can use
it, young as old. |
| The
NetPod uses the most efficient way of transport - in this case
connected with other NetPods in an underground area. It also connects
to monorails, ropeways, high speed trains and buses. |
| It
climbs buildings like an elevator, to take you directly from one
doorstep to another... |
The
interior and it's interface is simple to allow everyone to use
it. Tell NetPod your desired destination, and it takes you there
in the most efficient way.
There are no windows due to varying environments and for people
having fear for heights. Projection screens on the inside still
allows the user to see the actual environment or even other environments.
A personal "filter" shows e.g. beautiful images when
passing a red light district (or vice versa). It is also possible
to connect to other people via the Internet or watch your favourite
news channel.
Two trackballs and the screens makes it possible to use NetPod
as an office while on the go. |
| The
NetPod automatically connects to high speed trains when travelling
longer distances or between cities... |
