The conceptual 'Glass Train' is the design work of Thierry GAUGAIN and identifies some luxurious ways that travel could be enhanced by focusing on the surrounding landscape that might otherwise be passed by.
The train is characterized by its all-glass design that incorporates smart functionality to automatically change according to the time of day or the ambient needs of a particular car. Travelers could thus enjoy uninterrupted views of the exterior environment with their dinner, bask in the stars with a cocktail and more.
The conceptual 'Glass Train' could also enhance the traveler experience by augmenting it with visuals of another season or location. This could be achieved with the smart glass that would function as a display to show a lush, tropical paradise when going through harsh winter environments and more.
