14 DAY TRIAL // The construction of the Infinity Tower, a masterpiece in modern architecture, will soon start in South Korea.
The model brings technology and design together, as an LED system covers the facade and gives the tower translucent properties.
The result is an “invisible tower,” 1,476 feet (150 meters) tall, which can reflect light and project images behind it.
Cameras will be used to achieve the see-through effect, capturing the landscape behind the building.
According to io9, the invisible tower project has been awarded to GDS Architects, who are building the skyscraper near Seoul.
I am puzzled about how they will be able to recreate the skyline with cameras, since passers-by will be looking at it from different angles.
3D TVs already show different images, depending on the viewpoint. However, that would be hard to recreate on this scale.
Leave me your thoughts in the comments section.
