Technology: Japan's Invisible train set to roll in 2018

It's a train out of a "Hunger Games" world.

Except it could actually happen.

A nearly invisible train designed by one of Japan's leading architects is scheduled to debut in Tokyo in 2018...

Designed by award winner Kazuyo Sejima, the commuter train uses semi-reflective and semi-transparent materials to blend into the scenery whether it's traveling through the city or the countryside, according to a Newsweek report.

The train "travels in a variety of different sceneries, from the mountains of Chichibu to the middle of Tokyo, and I thought it would be good if the train could gently coexist with this variety of scenery," Sejima said.
