Investigative, Immersive, and Interactive Collaboration Environment
About INFINITY
INFINITY aims to transform the traditional idea of criminal investigation and analysis using immersive and collaborative environments. INFINITY’s concept is based around four core research and technical innovations that together, will provide a revolutionary approach and convert data into actionable intelligence .
Background
The challenges facing Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) within the digital age are exhaustive and growing exponentially. They regularly use extensive datasets with data from historical cases and on-going investigations. With each new attack by terrorists, cybercriminals, or major organised crime groups, the volume, velocity and variety of incoming data is vast and LEAs must quickly assess the veracity of such content and its links to existing investigations. Investigators cannot keep pace with the analysis required to extract meaningful and actionable intelligence to progress cases efficiently. Furthermore, the offenders who conduct or take part in the most serious crimes often also have the greatest awareness of how to obscure their activities from the authorities and evade detection. Fundamentally, INFINITY aims to assist LEAs with smarter and more advanced tools that provide these hidden links and help LEA’s stay ahead of the curve of technological adoption by criminals and terrorists.
Objectives
INFINITY aims to transform the traditional idea of criminal investigation and analysis using immersive and collaborative environments. This vision will be realisedthrough five Strategic Objectives (SO) which capture the high-level goals at the core of the project. The proposed strategic objectives will enable the realisation of the INFINITY vision into a coherent platform that aims to revolutionise the ways in which LEAs conduct investigative activity.
The INFINITY consortium has a well-balanced geographical spread with 20 consortium members, representing 10 EU member states plus 1 US partner. Consortium partners consist of end users, research centres and industry that together will combine expertise and enable a multidisciplinary approach to effectively completing the outcomes of the project.
