Dubai Police will use Google Glass to nab traffic violators
According to a report in Gulf News, Dubai Police plans to use Google Glass to photograph traffic offenders as well as identify illegal vehicles.
NEW DELHI: Google Glass is not yet available outside the US. But that is not stopping Dubai Police from testing it as a tool that can help cops nab traffic violators. According to a report in Gulf News, Dubai Police plans to use Google Glass to photograph traffic offenders as well as identify illegal vehicles.
Colonel Khalid Nasser Al Razooqi, general director of Smart Services at Dubai Police, told Gulf News that his department would use two specific apps with the Google Glass.
"One will allow them (cops) to take photos of traffic violations from the Glass, which will go instantly into our system, and the other application helps identify wanted cars," he said. "We at Dubai Police always try to adopt what is new in the market and we like to stay up-to-date."
For now, however, the use of Google Glass as a tool to detect traffic violation is in the test phase. Al Razooqi said that if they got the desired results the department "might decide to launch it and buy more of it".
Google Glass, a head-mounted tiny computer that also has a camera, was showed to public by Google in 2011. Since then it has gone through several hardware revisions and software improvements. However, it is not yet available for sale outside the US. Even in the US, the availability is only through a Google website as part of the Explorer Programme. The gadget is not yet available in the retail market.
One of the reasons behind the slow development of Google Glass has been questions around its usefulness. While it looks futuristic and it has got attention from early adopters, Google Glass doesn't offer any compelling use case for mainstream consumers. That said, doctors, explorers and cops, including some in New York Police Department, are testing the device in ways that may help them do their jobs more efficiently
