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.

Multifunctioneel AR-systeem voor Real-time Visuele herkenning
The system uses AR glasses with built-in cameras and powerful AI to automatically recognise number plates, vehicles and personal characteristics from the officer's field of vision. This makes the system particularly well suited for use within the TBB, TBP and forensic investigation domains. Officers can also use the system for operational tasks on the street, where real-time recognition adds crucial operational value. Information is projected directly into the glasses, allowing officers to work hands-free. The system is controlled through subtle hand and eye movements or app integrations, enabling rapid recognition and decision-making during surveillance, incidents and traffic checks — all while maintaining continuous situational awareness.
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.
ASA (Augmented Situational Awareness assistent)
ASA is an augmented reality assistant that supports police officers with direct, contextual information in their field of view via AR glasses. Think visual markers for exits, colleagues, vehicles or danger zones, plus subtle warnings about people approaching from outside their line of sight. In situations involving smoke or poor visibility, ASA improves orientation through image processing. At the same time, officers can share live footage with the control room for better coordination. This feasibility study examines whether ASA is technically achievable, practical to deploy within the police organisation, and whether it helps officers on the street act more safely, quickly and with better information.
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.
Situational Awareness op elk moment, door iedereen
With Imagem NL B.V.'s innovation, users without specialist knowledge are able to independently create and explore a digital, photorealistic copy of a location. The location is based on up-to-date data such as drone footage, laser scans, 360° video, live feeds and administrative sources. Within this 3D virtual world, users can analyse, simulate and coordinate situations — think of line-of-fire and line-of-sight analysis, or working through 'what if' scenarios. This new information position enables them to create a realistic digital environment for preparation, coordination and action in both ad-hoc and planned situations. The result: faster decision-making, greater situational awareness, more efficient use of resources, and a safer working environment for officers on the street.
Training Sandbox
The Training Sandbox is a hybrid IX platform that lets operational police officers independently create, adapt and share realistic scenarios within hours. A web editor makes it possible to quickly recreate ad-hoc situations and large-scale events, while a Unity package gives in-house development teams room to customise and expand the platform. It supports real-time intervention, learning analytics and multi-user collaboration within a single simulation. Built on a privacy-conscious architecture and guided by public values, the Sandbox aims to strengthen officers' practical skills, professional competence and mental resilience, cutting turnaround time from weeks to hours.
