'Portal' installation in NYC offers window to Dublin

The Portal, a public installation in New York City that provides a 24/7 livestream of Dublin, Ireland, is now open in Manhattan.
New York City and Dublin simultaneously debuted their portal installations on Wednesday, offering a window between the two cities and connecting people in real time.

Imagine showing this to someone in the 1950s

😂 if they are religious, it's witchcraft, if they're not, they'll think it's a giant screen from the future, and in their minds that future might be like the year 2000 or something 😂. I grew up in the 90s, and they made futuristic movies of cars flying by 2015. 😂

Is this a portal or just a big FaceTime?

[@Xerrand]

I fancied the idea of doing some shopping in New York and tried to jump through the "portal" on the Dublin side. Can confirm its a big facetime. Still cool though.

This will show how much amerikens are hated around the globe.

[@rabbidcrazy787]

​@@danielcaldwell1110Stupid that they're hated. Also, you may be surprised, but a lot of Vietnamese don't hate Americans despite the Vietnam War.

Could you imagine having this a 100 years ago!

Just saw a video of someone from the Ireland side put their phone up to the camera and it was a photo of a plane about to hit the twin towers. They got a diabolical sense of humor over there 😭😭😭

[@yurties1725]
