Construction is about to start on the world's first 'invisible tower' in Seoul, South Korea.

The 450m high glass-encased skyscraper, called the Tower Infinity, is going to be using LED lighting and cameras to create a 'reflective skin' on its exterior, which will make look as if it has disappeared, News.com.au reported.

The skyscraper will have wedding halls, a roller coaster, water park, and a range of restaurants and the world's third-highest observation deck, at 392m.

The building is being constructed in the Yongsan International Business District, near the busy Incheon International Airport.
