POLice Augmented Reality Intelligence System (POLARIS)

By applying Augmented Reality (AR) interfaces, Embedded Acoustics B.V. strengthens the “situational awareness” of intervention units. The intended solution combines the use of a visual interface (AR glasses or helmet) with 3D audio. Information is projected in both image and sound over the real environment. Embedded Engineering develops robust interfaces, to date mainly for military applications. This has demonstrated how, with the right interface design, information can be presented very intuitively and effectively. “Awareness” of the environment increases significantly, while cognitive load is reduced. They are adapting the existing system to meet the requirements of relevant teams at the Police.
