GameLab managers Jeroen Derwort and Bowie Derwort visited Deep Vision, the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee’s laboratory. Here, innovation is researched and applied across a broad spectrum. The visit was an initiative of i-Partnerschap.
Most people know the Marechaussee from passport checks at airports. However, this service, which is part of the Ministry of Defence, does much more. The Royal Netherlands Marechaussee provides security and protection, border policing, and international and military police duties.
The world in which these duties are performed is changing. Work must become more efficient with fewer people. Deep Vision explores how new technology, including AI, robotics and 3D printing, can help.
It is a fantastic place to work on applied innovation, and things do not always have to be serious. A complete pinball machine is being developed, for example, and a KMARbucks logo has been 3D-printed to brighten up the coffee machine. The environment invites unrestricted experimentation. Thinking outside the box is encouraged, making more serious innovation possible.
You might encounter Spot the robot dog on patrol here, or come across a hologram that questions you about the purpose of your journey.
Students from The Hague University of Applied Sciences could contribute to this work. Considerable capacity is needed for innovation. How can challenges be solved using cutting-edge technology? It is a wonderful opportunity for students of Game Development & Simulations, Innovative Development and Advanced Data Science & AI.
