The Conventional VR Guide to New York City is a location based guide to the city. It is especially useful to those attending a convention at the Javitz center - as it shows the convention center and things in proximity to the center. It can also be used as a location based guide for anyone going to New York City.
The app has major restaurants, hotels, monuments, and they are all profiled with a Virtual simulation so you can see what it is like before you reserve. Let us know what you think and if we should add anything.
About the Javitz Center:
The Jacob K. Javits Convention Center, commonly known as the Javits Center, is a large convention center located on Eleventh Avenue, between 34th and 40th streets, in Hells Kitchen, Manhattan, New York City. It was designed by architect James Ingo Freed of Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. The controversial and revolutionary space frame structure was begun in 1980, finished in 1986, and named for United States Senator Jacob Javits, who died that year. The Center is operated and maintained by the New York City Convention Center Operating Corporation. The convention center has a total area space of 1,800,000 square feet (170,000 m2) and has 840,000 square feet (78,000 m2) of total exhibit space
When the Center opened, it replaced the New York Coliseum as the citys major convention facility, making way for the demolition of the Coliseum and future construction of the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. Today, it hosts events such as the New York International Auto Show and the New York Comic Con. It is billed as one of the busiest convention centers in the United States, but it is only the twelfth-largest.
