Pokemon Go introduced the world to augmented reality. Thanks to the simplicity and mass popularity of this game application, techno-consciousness has been expanded and creative ways to deliver valuable information to field staff, work crews, and citizens have been generated. AR is proving to be incredibly powerful for public sector uses, helping governments get more tangible use out of all the data they track and maintain. Alameda County, California, is putting in an AR system that will allow workers to track the county's 7,000+ streetlights and traffic signals. For example, when a worker points a smartphone at a streetlight, the system will fetch the relevant GIS and asset management data. This could be just the beginning. The County's 311 system might be the next project they tackle. Learning Objectives: Enhance and encourage the use of leading-edge technology for public works applications. Increase productivity and efficiency using augmented reality technology. Envision how AR technology might be used for various public works functions.
