See the world ... without moving from the bar

Welcome to the bar that can transport drinkers anywhere in the world.



The £1 million venue, twentyfour:london, opened yesterday as a private members bar.

Giant screens show videos of locations across the world, from a Hawaii beach to the Grand Canyon. Infrared sensors can detect when you are in front of a screen, and an interactive bar recognises what you are drinking.



The screen can display a virtual aquarium, with a digital fish that follows customers. "People can play with the interactive virtual koi carp, or dance and watch as thermal shadows replicate every movement," said Cris Calarco, who designed the club in Kingly Street, near Carnaby Street.
