Step Into the Story of New York

About XploreRide New York

XploreRide is a coined word combining XR (Cross Reality), Explore, and Ride.
Powered by immersive XR technology, XploreRide transforms sightseeing into an interactive
adventure where the real world and digital storytelling become one.
The moment you put on the XR headset, the city outside your window becomes more than a
collection of landmarks. Guided by Liberty, the Spirit of Freedom, you’ll journey through a world where past and present intersect, discovering the stories, culture, and spirit that have shaped New York City.
Welcome to a new way of exploring New York.
