Promoting Peace Through Understanding while building a World of Tomorrow

The 1964 New York World's Fair was a global exposition held in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens, New York City. It showcased technological and cultural innovations of the era, including the introduction of the picturephone and the debut of iconic structures like the Unisphere. The fair had a significant impact on popularizing futuristic technologies and fostering a sense of optimism about the future, particularly during the height of the Space Age. It also promoted cultural exchange and collaboration through its slogan “Peace Through Understanding”.

Utilizing Augmented Reality, Geolocation tracking, VPS, and using Archival media as reference, park visitors can use their phones to be transported 60 years into the past to learn about the exciting exhibits we had here in our backyards!
