Western Sydney Airport chief executive Graham Millett said the visitor centre will use digital and augmented reality technologies to give the public an immersive experience.
"We want the public to be a part of the journey and discover the airport's story, particularly the benefits it will bring to the region in terms of jobs and opportunities," Mr Millett said.
"Floor-to-ceiling glass panels will offer a first-class view of the airport construction area.
"Augmented reality will allow visitors to see exactly where the runway and terminals will be built and what they will look like from the vantage point of the Visitor Centre."

Sydney Business Chamber welcomes start of 'real work' at Western Sydney Airport
Sydney Business Chamber western Sydney director David Borger welcomed (Sep-2018) the commencement of Western Sydney Airport's (WSA) construction programme as the start of "real work" at the Badgerys Creek site. Mr Borger added: "This is great news for the 30% of workers who live in western Sydney and commute outside the region to access jobs. The new airport will provide new job opportunities and assist in addressing the massive jobs deficit... With industry already setting up within the aerotropolis and a new major university planning to base itself next door, nothing can stop the airport now, it is finally a reality". WSA will support up to 28,000 direct and indirect jobs in western Sydney by 2031, five years after the airport's completion.
