With today's advanced technology, learning about the White House is as easy as pointing your phone camera at a dollar bill.
With the latest White House augmented reality app, 1600, you can transform your plain old dollar bills into a nifty and insightful learning experience.
Josh Earnest, White House Press Secretary, announced that the app, made available Thursday, will let users experience a digital year at The White House and get insight into the traditions, events and the life of the president.
