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.

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.
Simulation Operations
SIM-OPS is a large-scale VR training simulator for the Netherlands Police. The system combines AI-driven crowd simulation with photogrammetric environments, allowing officers to train realistically for scenarios such as demonstrations, riots and hostage situations. By intelligently integrating existing software wherever possible and adding its own innovations, SIM-OPS gives instructors the ability to create scenarios independently, without needing technical expertise. The consortium is investigating the feasibility of this approach, which drastically reduces the cost, complexity and turnaround time of traditional training while increasing its effectiveness.
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.
Scenebrook Haalbaarheidsonderzoek Interactieve XR-Trainingsscenario’s
The project explores whether Scenebrook can be extended with features that let the Netherlands Police develop VR training scenarios faster and more accurately. We're testing three things: automatically converting geo-data into realistic 3D environments, building complex, police-specific scenarios without requiring technical expertise, and measuring learning outcomes in VR. The aim is to determine whether this would allow the Netherlands Police to create realistic, up-to-date and easily adaptable training for situations that are difficult to practise physically.
T.O.A.R.
This project explores the feasibility of an innovative Augmented Reality (AR) solution that makes police work safer and more efficient. Cronos B.V. is developing a concept for smart glasses that provide officers in the field with a contextual heads-up display (HUD) and an interactive 3D map. This system translates complex operational data into a direct tactical advantage, helping officers stay better informed and respond faster. The feasibility study validates the technical design, the user experience with the Netherlands Police, and the integration possibilities for the future.
