Yup, gotta love those student design project press releases "world changing" indeed
, a bit of market research would have saved everyone a whole lot of time...see also:Loopwheels: https://www.loopwheels.com/products/mountain-bikes/

At least these two actually do work a bit. I have had my hands on the wheelchair versions this very week.
However, whether £800/pair and 1.2Kg extra per wheel is worth the ride is a different question, when so much reasonable and cheap suspension is already available (for both bikes and wheelchairs).
Reminds me of the Fitzsimmons/Morph folding wheel which was available a few years back: http://www.7th-london.com/folding-wheel/ and http://www.folding-wheels.com/
Definitely an over-complex solution to a problem that doesn't exist.
All the best,
