Apple-Designed IRCTC Concept Brief Website Brief · Next.js 15 + R3F

Complete prompt instructing Claude to build an Awwwards-level interactive travel platform inspired by Apple's design language, with 3D high-speed trains and liquid glass UI elements.

Create a cinematic premium website that imagines:

"What if Apple designed the IRCTC website?"

This is NOT a clone of Apple's website.

Instead, reinterpret Apple's design philosophy:
- Extreme minimalism
- Large typography
- Beautiful whitespace
- Premium storytelling
- Scroll-driven interactions
- Liquid Glass UI
- Glassmorphism
- Soft shadows
- Premium motion design
- Pixel perfect spacing
- Product launch quality animations

The experience should feel like an Apple keynote mixed with a futuristic transportation system.
