PORTAL - Connecting Two Cities in Real Time

Portal between cities connects two cities live via camera and a large LED screen, so they can wave & communicate to each other as they pass by.

The aim of the portal is to unite humanity by building a network of virtual bridges built in different continents and by accelerating a sense of global unity in a tiny spaceship called Earth.

There are plans to add portals in other cities in the future, organizers say. The portal is a joint project with the Benediktas Gylys Foundation, the City of Vilnius, the City of Lublin, and the Crossroads Centre for Intercultural Creative Initiatives.

There are currently 2 portals, one is located at a major train station in the city of Vilnius, Lithuania and the other is located in the main city square of Lublin, Poland, and the two portals are 376 miles or 606 kilometers apart from each other.

Each portal has an LED screen, is made out of concrete and weighs 11 tonnes, and can operate24 hours a day, 7 days a week day or night, in all weather conditions.

They chose a circle for the portal, because it is a well-known and recognised sci-fi symbol, for the visual of a bridge between 2 locations, just like a stargate.

Despite the portals being more then 600 kilometres apart, pedestrians in each city, can stop and wave to each other in-real time as they walk by.
The futuristic real-time portals have been installed in public places with heavy foot traffic, simply designed to broadcast live feeds from one city to the other.

Thanks for watching.

► Special thankyou to Travel with James who visited the portal in his city to film extra footage just for Wonder World and this video. Please do him and me a favour and check out his channel.

I applied for a Design Internship to Disney in 2013. In my portfolio, I included an elaborate design for Tomorrow Land featuring a series of walls which are actually giant screens that connect you to Disney Parks and other cities from around the globe, much like this but in a way that you can touch the screen and it would appear more as mere glass separating the two places. While I went on to work for that company years later, I had never heard anything back about the designs. I am glad someone is doing this.

As a human thats very conscious that i am far from perfect, I'd disagree if you ever experienced 2015 xbox voice lobby you'd know why it's a bad choice. Communication with strangers through the internet is already a bad idea... Trust me, not 10 out of 10 strangers would be kind and so angel-like. We are human afterall so everyone can make mistakes and be a dickhead
