It looks like something out of a science fiction movie. But the ‘portal’ connecting Vilnius, Lithuania and Lublin, Poland is very real, and part of a competition by the government of Vilnius to promote tourism in the area.
The cities of Lithuania and Poland have been installed with a real-time digital portal that allows people to catch a glimpse of both their cities which was founded by Benediktas Gylys
Mounted in the center of both cities, the circular digital doors are an excellent example of futuristic design. The portals look like they have come straight out of a sci-fi movie which provides the passer by a peek into each other’s lives in different cities.
Over the last decade or so, people have connected through means of technology in an increasingly digital world. From virtual interactions on video calls to virtually travelling the world, they have broken real-world barriers of distance. Now you can take a tour of so many things from our home. For instance, we can now enjoy some of the best museums in the world on virtual tours from the comfort of our homes. For some natural eye candy, we can go on virtual tours that explore some of the best that nature has to offer from across the world.
We can even trade our lockdown blues with a glimpse of the views from windows around the world.
