Theme of this edition

Training and simulation for the police

Funded projects

AI-Avatar

Police officers are continuously confronted with unexpected situations in which they must act quickly, provide assistance and gather information. Realistic training is essential for this, but expensive, time-consuming and difficult 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 flexibly switches between roles such as suspect, witness, victim or colleague, and responds naturally to the officer. This allows officers to train their communication, judgement and decision-making in a safe, lifelike environment. This makes practising unpredictable situations more effective, more efficient and easily scalable.

AR Assistant

AR Assistant is the innovative application for AR glasses that can be used by police officers to visualise data sources as optimally as possible during daily operational activities. Thanks to the AR Assistant, officers can act quickly and effectively when needed. By simply putting on AR glasses, the officer is supported by notifications, alerts, predictive policing and number plate recognition. Safety on the streets and in public spaces is increasingly high on the agenda for government, municipalities and public institutions. The Dutch Police is an essential link in this. The police must stay up to date and carry out their work more efficiently so that they can continue to effectively combat contemporary crime.

ASA (Augmented Situational Awareness assistent)

ASA is an augmented reality assistant that supports police officers with direct and contextual information in their field of vision via AR glasses. Think of visual markers for exits, colleagues, vehicles or danger zones, plus subtle warnings for approaching persons outside the field of view. In situations with smoke or poor visibility, ASA improves orientation through image processing. At the same time, the officer can share live footage with the control room for better coordination. This feasibility study examines whether ASA is technically feasible, practically deployable within the police organisation, and whether it contributes to safer, faster and better-informed action by officers on the street.
