Bachelor Assignment

When the Dutch police arrests a suspect, they use an identification device to grant a formal ID-status to this person. The goal of this assignment, to make a new design this for process, with the focus on the interaction between the police, the suspect and the identification device.

Research into biometrics has shown that completely new directions do not need to be taken, but that the basics, a frontal photo and fingerprints can be expanded with face recognition, 3D photos, an iris scan. A model has been set up for the interaction. With a stakeholder workshop an interaction vision was drawn up. Three different concepts were developed. These have been tested with both police agents and Dutch citizens. With these findings, a final concept and recommendations were made.
