Track: User Interface / User Experience

  • BluePrint Contactless Fingerprint App

    The demo will consist of capturing fingerprints using the BluePrint contactless mobile fingerprinting app and displaying the transformed black-and-white fingerprint impression. A video of the app is available at bureauofinnovation.org.


  • FirstModulAR

    FirstModulAR is an augmented reality (AR) platform designed for first responders, designed to improve operational efficiency, reduce risk, and offer support in critical scenarios. It offers innovative modular AR solutions designed to meet the unique demands of first responders across a diverse range of use cases. This demo will showcase FirstModulAR’s capabilities in an emergency […]


  • Automatic Diagnosis of Video Quality Problems in Networked Camera Systems

    In a networked camera system, multiple factors could cause the degradation of video quality, such as noise or motion blur during video capturing, not enough resolution, too much compression, and bad network conditions. To improve the experience of camera system users and operators, the team has developed a video quality assessment software prototype that can […]


  • First Responder Smart Tracking Challenge: Indoor Tracking for Public Safety

    Attendees will learn about the First Responder Smart Tracking (FRST) Challenge, a competition aimed at identifying 3D tracking technology that can give first responders one-meter accuracy in an indoor setting. This demonstration will highlight prior and ongoing work to support innovation in indoor tracking and the other location-based service work the team is performing.


  • First Responder Intelligent Assistance (FRIA)

    The First Responder Intelligent Assistance (FRIA) software will help first responders manage information from new technologies like drones without causing information overload. Information overload is addressed by contextualizing information for a user to determine what is relevant and how to present it, as follows: Spatio-temporal mapping organizes information into spatio-temporal database and uses that information […]


  • AROC: Augmented Reality Operations Center for Public Safety

    This demonstration will showcase a fully functional holographic operations center project/product running simultaneously on the Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, and Magic Leap 2 headsets. This work is the culmination of efforts from the Public Safety Innovation Accelerator Program – Augmented Reality (PSIAP-AR) grant that concluded in 2023, as well as other active engagements […]


  • Extended Reality for First Responders

    This demonstration will highlight an extended reality helmet for firefighters with holographic thermal imaging, breath rate detection, adaptive display, and haptic feedback. This demonstration will also showcase virtual reality training for pre-flight checkups.


  • A Digital-Twin-Enabled Testbed for Public Safety Communication Technologies

    This project aims to build a digital-twin-enabled testbed with state-of-the-art user interface/user experience technologies and advanced simulation models to provide a photorealistic virtual reality environment for first responders and emergency managers to engage, experience, and explore the latest sensing and communication technologies. The testbed can also function as an open platform for researchers and entrepreneurs […]


  • Emergency Response Information System (ERIS)

    Emergency Response Information System (ERIS) is a large-scale multi-user geospatial augmented reality (AR) tool that provides situation awareness and training capabilities for first responders. Attendees will experience a multi-user demonstration in eyewear and mobile phones.


  • Edge-supported Augmented Reality for Visual Collaboration in Indoor Scenarios

    First responders routinely make split-second decisions under stressful conditions. Easy access to information can alter the outcome in scenarios ranging from fire and medical rescue to combative persons. Attendees will see the latest prototype augmented reality (AR) applications designed for indoor scenarios that leverage sensors in AR headsets for localization and mapping as well as […]
