WEARABLES: Information visualization with Instructed Reality

The Human Data Interaction Lab has launched an exciting research collaboration with the Dutch Police and the Open University. In partnership with ILab—an innovation department of the Dutch police—we are initiating two challenging projects to explore novel approaches to human data interaction.

We have already begun the first experiment, which involves mixed teams of domain experts, researchers, and students from Zuyd ICT. This initial project focuses on the development and scientific evaluation of instructed reality technology. This emerging field combines elements of augmented reality with guided interaction systems to enhance decision-making in complex scenarios.

The collaboration represents a significant opportunity to bridge academic research with practical law enforcement applications, potentially transforming how police officers interact with data in the field. By bringing together diverse expertise from multiple institutions, we aim to create innovative solutions that address real-world challenges in public safety and security through advanced data interaction methods.
