Ever since HG Wells published "The Time Machine" people have been fascinated with the idea of time travel - the Chicago 1893 XR project begs the question: "what if you could bring the past to back life?"

The Columbian Exposition is arguably the most notable World's Fair of all time but very little of its architectural legacy remains. Over the last four years we have been diligently scouring archives to compile the documentation required to render the buildings in digital 3D for augmented reality which were created by some of the finest architects of the Gilded Age.

Now we are in the final stages of Phase 1's buildout which includes the major structures located around the Grand Basin. The plan is to make the first asset available to the public this summer. It will be the Administration Building, a Beaux-Arts structure designed by architect Richard Morris Hunt who is also responsible for the entrance facade of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty.
You can expect more details as we approach this initial release.
Just imagine: classical architecture, anywhere in the world - No matter where!
Join us and see the Columbian Exposition come back to life.
