AR/VR and Criminal Investigation: Tools of the Minority Report in Contemporary Application

Nov 10

04:35 PM - 05:00 PM

Description

In numerous fictional contemporary movies and television productions, the evaluation of crime scenes has been depicted with varying degrees of sophistication. C.S.I. introduced, not only new technology, but established new ways for law enforcement and juries to interpret physical evidence. Not every innovation has had a positive impact on the investigatory process. The Minority Report added the predictive twist and the dangers for abuse that foresight can bring. The underlying technology, however, successfully inspired many tools being used by law enforcement today, including crime predicting software. The scope of this presentation is to highlight the ability of immersive technology, both augmented and virtual, to have a beneficial effect on all aspects of criminological inquiry.
