Summary

Developed in collaboration with Europol and the swedish police, this project addresses the challenge of processing large volumes of video data in investigative settings. Law enforcement agencies increasingly rely on AI-supported search to navigate evidence collected from diverse sources. The task was to design a user interface that enables efficient, adaptive, and responsible analysis of video material. Grounded in field research, the resulting system supports prompting, filtering, and visualizing data in ways that reflect real investigative workflows.

The Challange

Understanding the context, how does police work looks like.

The interface is structured around a dynamic mist visualization representing the brain.
Mode cards can be docked into this space, triggering subtle animations in the mist that reflect the applied stimulation and changing cognitive state.

The Challange

Understanding the context, how does police work looks like.

Having a clear target and a pre defined package.

Sorting and categorizing large amounts of data.

Following leads through contextual analysis.
