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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Polaris: Real-time Situational Intelligence voor het Politiewerk van de Toekomst
Polaris is a new platform that supports police officers with real-time information during deployment. The system brings together data from different sources, interprets it, and translates it into clear visual signals. These signals are then displayed on various devices, including desktops, mobile devices and, in particular, AR devices. This gives officers immediate insight into what's happening around them, such as changes in threat level or relevant control room information. Polaris helps officers act faster and more safely, reduces cognitive load, and makes it possible to deploy immersive technology responsibly and sustainably — not just in training, but in real operations too.
