Spectronn
Current public safety video analytics tools only output statistics, e.g., the number of cars detected. They do not decrease the cognitive overload on first responders. We've created an “Alexa” for video analytics – generating story from video for question answering. Spectronn's artificial intelligence (AI) software platform understands the video content and automatically generates a story in plain English. A conversational chatbot mobile App then enables first responders to ask questions (e.g., what happened to the speeding blue car?) and get answers (e.g., the speeding blue car turned left on Main Street, hit the median, and stopped.) from the generated story.

Venti, LLC
The Fire Front system collects data from several different sources and displays them on one screen in real-time. The goal of the system is to give firefighters a full picture of the scene with detailed information. The tool that makes this possible is the Intelipod. The Intelipod is a low-cost pod with a lightweight micro-sensor with Bluetooth/RF capabilities. The pod provides the condition, location, temperature, and velocity of the fire. Using the pods incident, commanders can track the fire’s progression and warn first responders of potentially dangerous conditions.
