A new private members bar in London offers what can only be called a truly immersive experience.

The £1 million venue, twentyfour:london, opens tomorrow as a private members bar.

Giant screens will 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.

Beyond just changing the room’s appearance, the technology being utilized AT the bar itself is also bleeding edge;

When you put a glass on the bar, the rim shape is scanned and from that we can tell what the drink is - so we can make it easy to order the same drink.

“We also have heat sensors, so if you touch the bar, a flower grows under the bar wherever you’ve touched it.”

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 Mr Calarco.
