A jury can virtually walk through an entire crime scene and view every detail of the room, building, or environment and see it in the first person just as the detectives and forensic technicians did when the crime was originally being investigated.
Practically speaking, a jury will be able to explore the crime scene reconstruction in the same manner they would navigate a first person video game, a la Doom or Call of Duty.
Presently, most juries are shown a crime scene via still images. Sometimes, a jury may be shown a video that was made of a walkthrough of the crime scene. But by creating a degree video or a virtual tour of the crime scene, forensic experts, attorneys, and juries can view the scene from every angle. The ability to view a crime or incident scene from any angle means that not only can the jury gain perspective on the events, but eyewitness testimony can be judged and weighed more accurately.
Is the eyewitness telling the truth? Let the jury decide. Suppose an eyewitness testifies that from where he was standing, he was able to see the defendant attack the victim.
The virtual reality crime scene recreation will allow the jury to see the area of the attack as well as where this eyewitness was standing. In either case, the crime scene recreation would prove extremely useful in such a scenario. This technology will have a huge impact in aiding the jury to reach fair verdicts.
