One World Observatory is located at the top of One World Trade Center building in New York City and it is a unique experience that combines stunning vistas, innovative technology and historical significance. At One World Observatory the SkyPod Elevator takes you 102 stories high and during the journey, a virtual time-lapse of New York skyline is shown – and it changes in 47 seconds. When you get to the primary observation deck, you are welcomed by 360-degree views that can go as far as 80 kilometers if the weather is clear enough, and they include all the major attractions of New York, from the park to the bridge. This is complemented by the City Pulse – an augmented reality tour which uses gesture recognition to come alive and provide details which make you feel more connected with the city that lies below.
