SpotCrime – Know Your Neighborhood, now with Augmented Reality

What if you had special goggles that let you see crime incidents that have happened around you recently? Now you do, with SpotCrime!

SpotCrime is the iPhone application from SpotCrime.com, and is the first crime application to use Augmented Reality technology to give you a visual sense of where crime is happening around you!

Using the compass and camera in the iPhone 3GS, SpotCrime gives you a realtime view of the streets and city around you, overlaid with specific crime incidents as depicted with bold, colorful icons. Want to know whether it's safe to walk down a particular street? Aim SpotCrime at it and know right away!

For Your Location, Or Anywhere

By using the iPhone's GPS to find your location, SpotCrime displays recent crime activity around your current location, or any address you specify. Crime incidents are displayed with icons representing different types of crimes including shooting, robbery, assault, theft, burglary, arson and vandalism.

Are you traveling to a new city and want to get a sense of the crime activity there? SpotCrime can help you get a sense of the neighborhood and generate your own personalized crime report.

Unique “Safety and Security” Scores for Your Area

SpotCrime features a unique “Safety and Security” scoring system wherever we have data available. Using a proprietary algorithm, we compute a relative safety and security index for each location you want to explore. High scores (closer to 100) indicate lower risk. We also provide an “accuracy” score that will give you a sense of how accurate the safety and security scores are. It's a great way to know your surroundings!

Coverage and Source of Data

Through our proprietary sourcing model, SpotCrime pulls crime incident data from multiple sources including state and local police departments as well as validated news sources to provide a comprehensive record of local crime information.

We have coverage in hundreds of jurisdictions in North America as well as in several cities in Europe. More areas are being added daily. To see if your area is covered, try visiting http://spotcrime.com
