Google Glass: A New Weapon For Sydney Parking Inspectors

Parking inspectors around Australia could soon have a new weapon to monitor those who overstay their welcome.

The system incorporates the wearable computer Google Glass, enabling parking inspectors to do away with chalk and note pads; both conventional and electronic.

Google Glass’ camera captures and stores the registration of vehicles parked in time-restricted parking bays.

When the parking inspector comes by a second or subsequent time, the glasses will inform them if a vehicle has stayed beyond the permissible time.

This means the days of wiping chalk marks from tyres or moving the vehicle to a new spot to ‘extend’ the parking allowance could soon be over.
