Some of us in the DC office are frequent users of the Metrobus system, but we couldn't find a public transit app that suited our needs.
We created an app for iOS called Bus Stop DC that directly sources WMATA (Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority) feeds to let users find bus stops closest to them, receive bus arrival predictions, and receive real-time schedule updates. When the Apple Watch came out, we seized the opportunity to get some watchOS development experience while also using the wearable paradigm to make the user experience better. The Apple Watch app includes a “glance” view that shows users the arrival time of the next bus at the nearest stop.
We're exploring business use cases for virtual reality, including engaging virtual tours.
We use our Flashforge Creator Pro 3D printer to produce a broad range of prototypes and tools that help us in our experiments with emerging technologies.
