Google Glass 311 app knows if Alternate Side Parking is in effect

Want to know if schools are open or closed in NYC? You can now ask Google Glass.

From Ralph Yozzo's blog.

The city’s Alternate Side Parking Twitter feed is one of those pure uses of the medium.

Now, Google Glass users that want to find out basic city information can get it by asking Glass, courtesy of the first 311 Google Glass app, by Brooklynite Ralph Yozzo.

It’s a simple app. Users ask their glass device for the day’s city information, and it runs through a series of basic updates as slides, like the one above, using information provided daily via the 311 API.

It’s part of the Reinvent 311: Mobile Content Challenge, underway now.

Companies: City of New York / Google
