At 56 storeys high, the newly revamped ION Sky in ION Orchard now gives you more than just a bird’s eye view of Singapore’s skyline. The tallest point on Orchard Road offers an immersive experience, combining interactive visual projections with the nostalgia of Singapore heritage. ION Orchard has also developed an Augmented Reality (AR) app, compatible on Android and iOS smartphones, to further enrich your visit. The app creates an artistic spin for visitor to explore and discover key landmarks with local history through interactive elements that wow the senses.
Check out our experience video at the new ION Sky:
The Journey Begins
Once you step into the lift at level 4 of ION Orchard, be mesmerised by the magical nutmeg tree animation via towering LCD displays, giving the impression that the tree is growing with you as you ascend from Level 4 to Level 55 of ION Orchard. It made us feel like we were in our own fairy tale version of “Jack and the Beanstalk.”
The ION Orchard team worked with award-winning singer/songwriter Dick Lee and his creative team to create the immersive story-telling experience through the entire ION Sky journey.
Changing With The Seasons
The moment you enter ION Sky’s entrance on Level 55, you will be welcomed by seasonal interactive light projections on the ramp that leads you to the observation deck on Level 56.
Just like a leisure stroll through an enchanted garden, the interactive light projection contains motion sensors that detect the movement of your footsteps to envelop you with flowers blooming around your feet, and butterflies that chase after you as you walk up the ramp.
The seasonal interactive light projection is available from now till 29 April.
A Theatrical Projection Before The View
Cleverly projected on the blinds of the panoramic viewing deck, the history and heritage of Orchard Road will come alive in a riveting 4-minute show.
As the projection show comes to a close, the blinds will roll up on cue to unveil the actual panoramic view of Singapore’s skyline. With the help of the ION Sky app on your Android or iOS devices, users can use their screens and a touch of AR to effortlessly ascertain the exact positions of Singapore’s landmarks. The ION Sky app also offers nuggets of history of these landmarks that will enrich your understanding of Singapore’s rich multicultural heritage.
