360 Portal gets you inside the action at the Macy’s Parade.

Ever wondered what’s it like to sit in the grandstands for the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade? This Thursday, we will have a 360 AR Portal that will transport parade-goers right to the grandstand. The Portal will be set up in Bryant Park, and all you have to do is tap your phone, scan the floor, and walk through the AR Portal. The Portal experience will also be available in an online format, where viewers can control how they view and focus on all the performers, floats, and balloons.
