The Portal is an always-on live video feed housed in a futuristic, industrial-style circle, connecting two cities from around the world.

A Lithuanian entrepreneur created the project after realizing that his success in the Lithuanian startup sphere still left him feeling unfulfilled in his life.

A few bad apples can ruin the experience for everyone.
