Virtuele War Room voor Wendbaar Politieoptreden
The Virtual War Room enables police teams to prepare for unexpected situations within a matter of hours. Using up-to-date 3D area data, colleagues work together to build a realistic tactical situation map, explore scenarios and train directly in VR or Mixed Reality, even from different locations. This feasibility study identifies the workflow needed to let operational staff create and use scenarios independently, taking into account the relevant conditions for responsible and safe use within the Netherlands Police context.

AI-Avatar
Police officers are constantly confronted with unexpected situations that require them to act quickly, provide assistance and gather information. Realistic training is essential for this, but it's expensive, time-consuming and hard to scale. With an AI avatar – a digital, human-like figure driven by artificial intelligence – officers can practise realistic scenarios using VR headsets. The avatar switches flexibly between roles such as suspect, witness, victim or colleague, responding naturally to the officer. This allows officers to train their communication, judgement and decision-making in a safe, true-to-life environment, making it easier, more efficient and more scalable to practise for unpredictable situations.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
