Call: Invitation for Submission to Technology Demonstrator 3 Augmented Reality Trials
Closing date for Registration: 23rd November 2010

Logica, a leading business and technology service company, has launched a challenge to uncover the leading Augmented Reality (AR) technologies for use in UK security and counter terrorism operations. The project, titled Technology Demonstrator 3 (TD3), aims to identify current and future AR capabilities, whilst evaluating them against various security and counter terrorism scenarios. TD3 is part of the Innovative Science and Technology in Counter Terrorism (INSTINCT) cross government approach that seeks innovative solutions to support CONTEST, the UK's Strategy for Countering International Terrorism. Horizon Digital Economy Research Institute at the University of Nottingham is a partner in the project.

Technology providers from across industry and academia are being invited to submit their AR technologies which will be evaluated and shortlisted by Logica and its partners, before being demonstrated to the Home Office and Law Enforcement Agencies at a Showcase Event in February 2011. Please be aware that the technologies need only be at an early stage of development, as long as they can show the essence of the idea. Where appropriate, Logica will also be providing advice and support to technology providers who are looking to take their AR technologies to market.

TD3 is open for submissions now, and will close on the 23rd November 2010. You are encouraged to visit www.td3-ar.com http://www.td3-ar.com/ for further information and to submit registrations of interest. In addition, three Participant Briefing Webinars have been organised for 16-18 November, and there are further details and a link for registration on the TD3 web site.

If you have any questions, please email instinct-td3 at logica.com<mailto:instinct-td3 at logica.com> . Feel free to forward this to any colleagues (industry or academia in any country) who you think may have an interest in showcasing their work.
