Retrospective ICE Breaking 2018
ICE Breaking - the IT Circle event on innovations within member organizations - was a great success. Over 500 participants from 50 organizations attended the 18 different break-out sessions with a wide range of topics and live demonstrations.
Host this day was the Ministry of Defense, where Olivier Sessink - Head of Innovation and Research - provided the opening and keynote. Watch his presentation in which he explains why innovation at Defense is sometimes literally vital. He also talks about how Defense has organized IT innovation, what the challenges are and the results achieved. But you can also revisit the other very interesting presentations further down this page.
During the various breaks, mutual contacts were made and strengthened. That is precisely the objective of the IT Circles: sharing with each other, learning from each other, developing yourself - and therefore the organization - further.

The Foyer
IVO Justice's innovation team told more at the information booth in the Foyer:
Seeing is believing
IVO Judiciary's Innovation team explored what augmented reality (AR) could mean for the Judiciary by purchasing a Microsoft Hololens. This first, fully self-contained, holographic computer glasses has a large field of view that allows simple visual information and holograms to be displayed visually in the user's field of view. The research was to contribute to the question of whether AR or VR is a better fit for the Judiciary.
Augmented reality technology, and specifically the Microsoft Hololens, is currently in the "early adopters" phase of Rogers' innovation adoption curve. That is, the general public is not yet familiar with this technology and product. For this group of people, "seeing is believing. With this proposition in mind, the IVO Judiciary innovation team built a prototype of a fictional brawl in which multiple statements from suspects and witnesses were virtualized.
