<B>Call: Invitation for Submission to Technology Demonstrator 3 Augmented
Reality Trials<BR>Closing date for Registration: 23rd November
2010<BR><BR></B>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.<BR><BR>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 <B>Showcase Event in February 2011.</B> 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.<BR><BR>TD3 is open for submissions now, and
will close on the <B>23rd November 2010</B>. You are encouraged to visit
<U>www.td3-ar.com http://www.td3-ar.com/</U> for further information and <B>to
submit registrations of interest</B>. 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. <BR><BR>If you have any
questions, please email <U><A
href="mailto:instinct-td3@logica.com">instinct-td3@logica.com</A> </U>. 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.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
