Let's ride the immersive wave
Immersive experiences (IX) are changing the way we learn, work and experience the world. They bring the digital and physical worlds together. Their impact is driven not only by technology, but by people and collaboration. CIIIC is the national programme that helps creators, researchers, businesses and educational institutions unlock the opportunities of IX.
Become part of the IX ecosystem
In the CIIIC community you meet other creators, researchers and adopters of immersive experiences. Share knowledge, find partners for your project, and stay informed about opportunities.
Technology that immerses you
Immersive experiences are experiences where technology influences our sensory perception so that we feel immersed in another reality.
From VR therapy in healthcare to AR on the work floor, from interactive exhibitions to participatory urban planning — IX offers unique possibilities where experiencing is more effective than explaining.

AI-Avatar
Police officers are continuously confronted with unexpected situations in which they must act quickly, provide assistance and gather information. Realistic training is essential for this, but expensive, time-consuming and difficult to scale. With an AI avatar – a digital, human-like figure driven by artificial intelligence – officers can practise realistic scenarios using VR headsets. The avatar flexibly switches between roles such as suspect, witness, victim or colleague, and responds naturally to the officer. This allows officers to train their communication, judgement and decision-making in a safe, lifelike environment. This makes practising unpredictable situations more effective, more efficient and easily scalable.
View projectAR Assistant
AR Assistant is the innovative application for AR glasses that can be used by police officers to visualise data sources as optimally as possible during daily operational activities. Thanks to the AR Assistant, officers can act quickly and effectively when needed. By simply putting on AR glasses, the officer is supported by notifications, alerts, predictive policing and number plate recognition. Safety on the streets and in public spaces is increasingly high on the agenda for government, municipalities and public institutions. The Dutch Police is an essential link in this. The police must stay up to date and carry out their work more efficiently so that they can continue to effectively combat contemporary crime.

AR Insight: Transparent Urban Development Siekerman Technology B.V. is developing an innovative AR solution that helps municipalities communicate more effectively about urban development projects. Users of new AR glasses see context-relevant information - duration, background and expected results - at the exact location of the works. Residents have the opportunity to respond directly and influence project information, as well as make contact with contractors. The goal: reducing nuisance through better provision of information and increasing support for necessary urban development.
