CGI Indoor Explorer

CGI Indoor Explorer provides situational awareness during first responder operations by using IX to create a single, integrated, shared view of the situation in real time and in 3D. First responders are equipped with a 3D sensor that tracks their position and maps their surroundings. This view is monitored remotely in real time, offering value to the police and, by extension, to the Netherlands. CGI Indoor Explorer is being developed at CGI as an innovation project. This feasibility study examines the commercial potential of this innovation and its operational value for the Netherlands Police. The aim is to close the gap between innovation and actual deployment.

IIC 2: IX for the Dutch Police Active

Handsfree Intelligence: De Mixed Reality Gedachtenkamer voor de Tactische Recherche

An AI-driven Mixed Reality application that supports tactical detectives in real time with investigation, scenario thinking and administrative tasks at a crime scene. The application combines MR and artificial intelligence, giving investigators a "thinking room" where they can visualise, mark and analyse evidence. This reduces the administrative burden and improves the quality and speed of investigative processes, contributing to more efficient law enforcement.

Polaris: Real-time Situational Intelligence voor het Politiewerk van de Toekomst

Polaris is a new platform that supports police officers with real-time information during deployment. The system brings together data from different sources, interprets it, and translates it into clear visual signals. These signals are then displayed on various devices, including desktops, mobile devices and, in particular, AR devices. This gives officers immediate insight into what's happening around them, such as changes in threat level or relevant control room information. Polaris helps officers act faster and more safely, reduces cognitive load, and makes it possible to deploy immersive technology responsibly and sustainably — not just in training, but in real operations too.

Planning & Real-time IX Scenario Maker

PRISM is an AI-supported VR scenario builder that lets police officers with no technical background build and adapt realistic environments and scenarios. Using voice commands and simple building blocks, they can recreate past incidents and prepare for new situations, for example crowd control or threat scenarios. The tool drastically cuts the development time for XR training and makes it possible to share and reuse scenarios nationwide. In phase 1, the team is investigating the technical feasibility, user acceptance and economic viability of a proof of concept for this AI-driven IX scenario builder.

POLice Augmented Reality Intelligence System (POLARIS)

By applying Augmented Reality (AR) interfaces, Embedded Acoustics B.V. is enhancing the “situational awareness” of intervention units. The proposed solution combines a visual interface (AR glasses or helmet) with 3D audio. Information is projected onto the real environment both visually and audibly. Embedded Engineering develops robust interfaces of this kind, to date mainly for military applications. This work has shown how the right interface design can present information in a highly intuitive and effective way. Situational awareness increases significantly, while cognitive load is reduced. They are adapting the existing system to meet the requirements of relevant teams at the Netherlands Police.

SIMplify-XR, een AI-gestuurde VR-trainingsomgeving

Improvive wants to help the Netherlands Police create training scenarios more quickly for approaching suspicious individuals at large-scale events. This should result in a training in VR or Mixed Reality. Until now, 3D environments and scenarios have been designed by specialists. Improvive wants to simplify this with an AI-driven design assistant, combined with existing digital tools. The AI assistant guides the creator step by step through designing a training. This way, the police can build scenarios that match real-world situations simply and independently.
