Picard Season 2 established that Vulcans had transporters in the 20th century already. Maybe we'll just pretend the Vulcans were nice and gave the XCV-330 their transporter, and the NX-01 had the first "human made" transporter cleared for use.

The design is more a "what if" than an attempt at keeping things in canon, it's loosely based on concept art from the early days of planning Star Trek, although they've added their own spin on it. It's their version of "what if they went for this design instead of the 1701".
I managed to find this image of it:
The "transporter" device is labelled as a "Metafier", so presumably it was based on another sketch. It would be nice if they added the artwork the concept designs were based on to the website.

From an article about an auction: https://trekmovie.com/2009/09/17/more-star-trek-memorabilia-up-for-auction-in-october/
On the E-G bridge, one of the fore "glass" consoles and in the conference lounge there is a space map. Check out the Romulan Free State - it's almost empty. That supernova annihilated almost everything.
Continues wondering exactly what Spock was hoping to accomplish in this retconned version of ST09's backstory.
They shouldn't have even called it a supernova in Picard anymore, more like a sector wide space time subspace distortion that just happens to be centered around the Romulan sun. Or the Romulan sun started spontaneously creating omega particles and Spock just had to wipe it all out.
I think "previously undetected subspace rift, causing the star to quickly destabilize and amplify the destruction" covers everything well enough. The Red matter allowing it to implode rather than explode. Then Romulus gets rather cold but stays in orbit, giving time to finish the evacuation.
Time. He just needed more time.
I'm 95% sure that's the same map seen in Admiral Clancy's office.
There's also a map on the Eleos showing the range of the supernova, it's only a couple sectors big.

Perhaps the various artists weren't co-ordinating. The bast radius according to the Last Best Hope novel puts it at 10 light years, and that looks about right here.I'm 95% sure that's the same map seen in Admiral Clancy's office.

The site is absolutely fantastic!!! 
Just one issue: Last time i looked the Enterprise-J still hadn't a bridge. Hope they'll follow up with it.

I like the gumball machine looking device near the viewscreen. I have to say the concept bridges are probably my favorite part of this archive, especially the Planet of the Titans bridge. It looks more like an ops station for a Starbase than a traditional starship bridge, but its so damn cool and sci-fi looking.
Edit: Anyone know how to move around the bridges?

They can only extrapolate from existing production documents, and I doubt a J bridge was ever worked on.
Use a browser other than Firefox, click a ship and wait for the loading animation, that might take up to a few minutes depending on the server load. Then you can go full screen and navigate with ASDW
But isn't this also true for the XCV-330?
The ship only ever appeared as a background detail for TMP
As I understand stand it Jefferies returned to the design around 1977 for a possible non trek Roddenberry space series that was never made. The bridge concept comes from this era. (They have access to concept art that isn't publicly available.) The design then appears in TMP as an easter egg.
It's being worked on - deck by deck!
