CGI Indoor Explorer
CGI Indoor Explorer provides situational awareness during first responder operations by using IX to create a single, integrated, shared view of the situation in real time and in 3D. First responders are equipped with a 3D sensor that tracks their position and maps their surroundings. This view is monitored remotely in real time, offering value to the police and, by extension, to the Netherlands. CGI Indoor Explorer is being developed at CGI as an innovation project. This feasibility study examines the commercial potential of this innovation and its operational value for the Netherlands Police. The aim is to close the gap between innovation and actual deployment.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Police Rapid Environment & Scenario Platform
PREP is developing a system that allows police officers to create and run a realistic training or operational scenario in an immersive 3D environment within an hour. Using AI, realistic crowd simulations and up-to-date environmental data, officers can practise and evaluate quickly and effectively. It also allows them to prepare for a wide range of situations, such as events, incidents or large-scale operations. The project investigates the technical and operational feasibility of this rapid scenario generation, with the aim of making police work more agile, safer and better prepared.
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.
