I don't subscribe to the WSJ and haven't seen the app in action. Has anyone used it? I would love to see if the Heights has any potential for larger scale development, especially the area on Palisade Avenue between Franklin and South Streets, where there are a lot of abandoned buildings - on sites with potential Manhattan view!
If someone could run the app and link to the images created, that would be very cool indeed!

An App That Helps Glimpse the FutureRokitt’s augmented-reality technology helps architects and residents see a skyline’s potentialOct. 25, 2015 8:22 p.m. ET As Jersey City continues to court construction, a local startup has built an app to help architects and residents see the skyline’s potential. The app, called “Jersey City ROARs,” uses augmented-reality technology to illustrate development possible under current zoning regulations. The technology uses a smartphone’s camera to scan objects—such as maps—then superimposes interactive images and content. Scanning a map of Jersey City’s 95-acre Bayfront neighborhood pulls up an interactive image of a fully developed waterfront—complete with office buildings and chirping seagulls. The landscape there is barren now, but the scene shows what could be built under a redevelopment plan approved in 2008. “Here’s how it’s going to look tomorrow,” said Oksana Sokolovsky, co-founder and chief executive of Rokitt, which built the app. “Not just on a map, but in a way you can really see and feel.” Read more: http://www.wsj.com/articles/an-app-th ... pse-the-future-1445818966
