In response, Control Group and Titan partnered to create NYC I/O— the transformation of the corner payphone into a digital node that will usher in a new era of The Responsive City.

The app uses your phone’s camera, transforming what it sees into the view through a windshield, while the accelerometer measures the speed and drift around corners. You can flash the camera light and listen to the sound of the engine as you’re “driving” along. You can also record your route as a video and enter your race onto a scoreboard for others to rate through social media.
