Urban official hopes Google Glass will provide a clearer picture of his job
Online Edition
TIRED of what he considers unfair allegations against urban management officers, known as chengguan, an officer in Changzhou in east China’s Zhejiang Province has bought himself a pair of Google Glass to document violations.
Urban management officials have a poor reputation in China, and are often accused of brutality against those such as vendors and squatters that they come in contact with during actions to enforce urban management laws.
“The video footage taken at the scene is the best evidence,” said Jiang Yifan, who posted a picture of himself wearing the device on Weibo yesterday.
Jiang said he and his colleagues have been equipped with video cameras, which they carry when they anticipate conflict during crackdowns such as demolition of illegally built construction, the Yangtze Evening News reported today.
But sometimes carrying a video camera can trigger others’ anger. “It is better to use Google Glass. My hands are free. And it can document what I see,” he said.
Jiang bought the mini-computer built into spectacles online early this month at nearly 10,000 yuan (US$1,606). It hasn’t been available yet in stores in China’s mainland.
Google Glass is a spectacles-like device that contains a hidden computer, a thumbnail-size transparent display screen above the right eye and other digital wizardry. This Internet-connected headgear is set up to let users receive search results, read email, scan maps for directions and engage in video chat without reaching for a smartphone or other device. Google Glass’ grasp of voice commands even makes it possible to shoot hands-free photos and videos.
