Mobile App Notes Cortlandt Historical, Recreation Sites

CORTLANDT, NY — Town officials have added recreational facilities to the Otocast app featuring information about the town's most interesting locations.

Phase I, introduced last year, was for historical sites. Now the app also includes info on the new lacrosse field; the town pool, playgrounds and parks; the Senior Center; Youth Center; the Cortlandt Community Rowing Association dock and more.

"Please join us in touring the town through this exciting app," said Town Supervisor Linda Puglisi. "Look for the App symbols."

Otocast, which is available free on iTunes, provides a platform and services for mobile audio guides which can be used for public art, architecture, historical locations - any place that wants to provide more information to visitors.

The initial version of the app was created for a public art exhibition held in honor of the bicentennial celebration in Ossining, NY called Ossining in 3D.

Since then more Otocast guides have been created in the Hudson Valley and across the country.

For example, the one in White Plains shows the Art in Vacant Spaces program, in which the White Plains BID and art students from SUNY Purchase created site-specific works in vacant office spaces.
