Product overview
The Interactive Multi-User Observatory Experience, developed by teamLab, reimagines the classic observatory experience by transforming it into an interactive, multi-user platform. Installed at the Fields Headquarters, this project complements traditional telescopes by offering a panoramic, touch-based exploration of Tokyo’s skyline. Using high-definition, 360-degree time-lapse views captured throughout the year, the system allows visitors to discover Tokyo’s landmarks in real time. By combining large touch displays with interactive layers of information, teamLab sought to create a shared, immersive experience that invites multiple users to engage with the cityscape together, viewing different times of day, seasons, and historic data in an intuitive and modern way.
