Waypoint AR — Citi Bike

What it can do

• Overlay live Citi Bike station availability as AR waypoints

  User's current GPS location and live Citi Bike station data feed → AR waypoint markers displayed in the user's field of view via smart glasses

• Show real-time available bike count at nearby stations

  Nearby Citi Bike station identifiers and live availability API data → Current number of available bikes displayed per station in AR overlay

• Show real-time open dock count at nearby stations

  Nearby Citi Bike station identifiers and live dock availability API data → Current number of open docks displayed per station in AR overlay

• Identify and highlight the nearest station with available bikes

  User's GPS coordinates and live station availability data → Highlighted or prioritized AR waypoint indicating the closest station with bikes

• Identify and highlight the nearest station with open docks

  User's GPS coordinates and live dock availability data → Highlighted or prioritized AR waypoint indicating the closest station with open docks

• Display directional distance to Citi Bike stations

  User's real-time GPS location and station coordinates → Distance and directional bearing to each nearby station shown in AR view

• Update station availability information in real time as the user moves

  Continuous GPS location updates and live Citi Bike API polling → Dynamically refreshed AR waypoints reflecting current station status

Why it made the leaderboard

If you ride Citi Bike regularly, this shows you live station availability as directional cues in your field of view — no phone, no map, no friction. Unlike phone-camera AR gimmicks, it's designed specifically for AR glasses, making it one of the first genuinely useful ambient-computing transit apps rather than a demo.
