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.

SPOT - Simultaan Plaats Onderzoek Tool
CoVince Innovations B.V.'s solution turns simple video recordings into collaborative 3D environments. This lets multiple experts visit crime scenes simultaneously within two hours, from any location.
T.O.A.R.
This project explores the feasibility of an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) solution that makes police work safer and more efficient. Cronos B.V. is developing a concept for smart glasses that provide officers in the field with a contextual heads-up display (HUD) and an interactive 3D map. This system translates complex operational data into a direct tactical advantage, helping officers stay better informed and respond faster. The feasibility study validates the technical design, the user experience with the Netherlands Police, and the integration possibilities for the future.
Simulation Operations
SIM-OPS is a large-scale VR training simulator for the Netherlands Police. The system combines AI-driven crowd simulation with photogrammetric environments, allowing officers to train realistically for scenarios such as demonstrations, riots and hostage situations. By intelligently integrating existing software wherever possible and adding its own innovations, SIM-OPS gives instructors the ability to create scenarios independently, without needing technical expertise. The consortium is investigating the feasibility of this approach, which drastically reduces the cost, complexity and turnaround time of traditional training while increasing its effectiveness.
TactiCall
TactiCall is an immersive video calling solution that supports the police in their daily and operational work. Using augmented reality and information overlays, officers on the street can communicate live with the control room and specialists. This allows crucial information to be shared faster and visually. It cuts response times, makes expertise available anywhere, increases safety and improves collaboration between disciplines. TactiCall also offers opportunities for training and evaluation by reliving realistic situations in VR/AR. The feasibility study examines the technical and organisational conditions needed for widespread deployment of TactiCall within the Netherlands Police.
RapidScan, snelle en autonome AI-generatie van 3D-omgevingen
RapidScan is a tool for quickly creating realistic 3D simulations of real-world locations, generated from photos or videos of the site. Once a location has been captured, the resulting scenes can be viewed and used in a VR headset within minutes. RapidScan builds on earlier work by Leiden University with 3D Gaussian Splatting, which demonstrated that complex urban areas can be reproduced in remarkable detail. By focusing on speed and ease of use, the tool offers a practical way to explore or rehearse situations, opening up opportunities for the Netherlands Police, municipalities and others with an interest in simulating physical environments.
AR Assistant
AR Assistant is an innovative application for AR glasses that police officers can use to visualise data sources as effectively as possible during their day-to-day operational work. With the AR Assistant, officers can respond quickly and effectively whenever needed. Simply by putting on a pair of AR glasses, officers are supported with notifications, alerts, predictive policing and number plate recognition. Safety on the streets and in public spaces is increasingly high on the agenda for the government, municipalities and public institutions, and the Netherlands Police play an essential role in this. The police need to keep pace and work more efficiently in order to keep tackling modern-day crime effectively.
