To experience this famous building, you just need your smartphone and an American one dollar bill.
要想参观这座著名的建筑，你只需要一部智能手机，以及一美元钞票。

The 1600 app uses augmented reality in the same way as the virtual reality game Pokemon Go.The app creates a small version of the White House on your smartphone. After downloading it, just point the camera on the phone at a dollar bill to start the experience.
这项应用采用了增强现实技术，和Pokemon Go游戏采用的虚拟现实技术相同。这个app在你手机上创建了一个小版本的白宫。下载后，只要将手机相机对准一美元钞票就可以开始体验。

The dollar then transforms into a three dimensional (3D) model of the White House before your eyes.It creates images having length, width and height.When the smartphone is moved around, the images of the building also change.
一美元钞票就会在你眼前变为白宫的三维立体模型。所呈现的图像具有长度，宽度和高度。当手机移动时，白宫的影像也会随之移动。

U.S. President Barack Obama’s Press Secretary, Josh Earnest, provides commentary as part of the app.He provides historical information about the White House, talks about how the building is used today and describes some events held there.
美国总统奥巴马的新闻发言人乔希·厄尼斯特为app提供解说。他讲述了白宫的历史，这座建筑如何成为今天的用途，描述了在白宫发生的一些事件。

The app shows some of the changes on the White House grounds throughout the year.You can watch the Easter Egg Roll in springtime and see a state arrival ceremony for a foreign leader.
该应用还展现了全年白宫发生的变化。你可以在春季看到复活节滚彩蛋，看到欢迎外国领导人的仪式。

There is even a hidden surprise to catch if you touch on the president’s Oval Office.
如果你点击总统办公室，就会发现隐藏的惊喜。

“We hope you enjoy and share this new way of taking a peek inside the White House,” Earnest said on WhiteHouse.gov.
