How It Began
At the MIT Physics Graduate Program, the hoverboard began as a summer project back in 2010. It then evolved into one of the most exciting products to be developed from MIT.
The Team
The team of developers involved in the project includes electricity, materials science and magnetism experts. These talented individuals have apparently found the answer to one of science’s greatest mysteries – the key to antigravity.
Future Endeavors
With a strong focus on improvement, the HUVr Board team eventually plans to enhance the efficiency, speed and sustainability of mass transportation. The ongoing research and development is currently under funding to be able to change the economics of the product. Only time will tell if this product will ever be a reality.
