HMGCC are seeking innovators to build a tool that lets security professionals quickly visualise a smart city in 3D, showing where nodes and sensors are located, how they connect, and where the vulnerabilities might be.
Smart cities use thousands of sensors, cameras and connected devices to manage infrastructure and public services. But, to mitigate security risks, better ways are needed to understand where those devices are and how they connect.
HMGCC is looking for software that can take open-source smart city data and display it as an immersive, interactive 3D map, layering in the locations and types of sensors and connected devices across an urban environment. Approaches such as Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) are welcome, but HMGCC would also like to hear about other novel methods.
