Virtual reality at the crime scene. New classes for students – Interfax

From the chair lifelessly hanging corpse. Head wound, blood pooling on the floor, and arms indicates that it was suicide. But is it? Maybe, however, we are dealing with a murder or an accident? Maybe next, there are signs that will help you understand what happened? Rozwikłanie this puzzle the students-lawyers at the Leon Kozminski Academy in Warsaw.

First protect blood

it would Not be anything unusual if not for the fact that everything happens in virtual reality. The virtual room is decorated with wood and leather office taken counsel, there are victims. Virtual private bathrooms nearby, and all interior parts, and a total of about twenty types of marks. Their study will explain the cause of death and the conclusion of a possible murderer.

– At the crime scene is very important to the proper protection of the trade mark, including to do it in the right order, explains Professor Monica Całkiewicz, Vice-rector on education law schools and the author of the application scenario

for example? We are talking about not zadeptać tracks? – dopytuję knowing know such films as “CSI Miami”, what, however, I do remember.

- you should First collect biological traces like blood, semen or hair, because only they are subject to degradation. Then you can focus on more stable, like a fingerprint, explains the Professor, referring to his source of knowledge, explains: – At the movies bloody knife is always set in a plastic bag. This is done because such frame – bright blood, and transparent bag – looks good. But in fact, it would be a big mistake. The blood kept tightly closed in plastic bag quickly been spoiled. In addition, if it were any fingerprints is likely to encounter.

avoiding such mistakes learn future lawyers, by using VR applications (eng. virtual reality, i.e. virtual reality).

One of them suggests, VR glasses, and the rest of the team are seeing on the screen image with the goggle, helps solve the mystery of a crime. Seeing all the teacher has the opportunity wyłapania and discussion of the mistakes made during the virtual inspection.

Cm. also: meanwhile, in virtual reality… VR European Congress

go to the corpse

follow in the footsteps of students. I guess glasses HTC Vive and “I’m beaming” on the scene. For the hands I get the controllers (in goglach I see them both on hand). The left I could choose from a virtual menu of tools to protect the traces. Right – grab items – using one button, or move around the room, pointing to a spot on the floor that I want to “stand” with the second.

- Please come to the slain, boldly – calls Damian Lewandowski Truesense, the company that has prepared for the Academy Kozminski app

At the moment I’m on the other side of the room, away observe Desk beneath a window and behind him the motionless body on the seat.

With some shyness, and even that’s a lot to say – unwillingness to move forward by pressing the right controller. Virtual reality has for themselves, which is often surprisingly real. Stay a step in front of the corpse of a bald, elderly man. Now I see it: right temple has shot through the left eye fell from the socket to the outside.

- This often occurs as a result of the shot, explains Lewandowski.

For some time I have to look away, but as it turns out – my reaction is not unusual. Initially, the application task should be just to test the reaction of the students to communicate with the deceased.

College of law circulated a joke about a Prosecutor who is not so fond of the sight of dead bodies on the crime scene always sent their interns, says Darya Kovalska, head of marketing, Leon Kozminski Academy and initiator of the project. We thought that thanks to this educational game the student will be able to quickly convince them that this work suits him, and isn’t it better to advance changed my major.

When working on the application was, however, that it can fulfill an educational function, far beyond the original plans. To carefully examine both the premises and find, and then, respectively, provide all of often carefully hid the traces from one and a half to two hours.

And, indeed, many things not visible at first glance. Only when a virtual flashlight oświetlam bathroom door, I see blood on them. Carefully collect it wymazówką (the so-called vocational and what looks like an elongated stick for ears). Then doing the same with the blood stain on the wall next to the deceased, and, by the way, slowly check carefully in the app recreates the details. After cleaning the spots, select a sample of crash on the virtual stick and really – in real life – in the end, it’s red from blood.

- all based on a real case, modified and supplemented by additional elements for the educational needs of – added Damian Lewandowski

Technology how to breathe

the App is already being tested on separate groups of students. On an ongoing basis in the training program will include from the nearest spring semester.

Will work with her law students, beginning in their third year, the lesson criminology and criminal prosecutions.

At the moment the application is prepared in two versions, distinguished by the footprints and other details. Should be, she is nevertheless growing, and who knows – you may see related companies:

- using virtual reality it would be possible to conduct an autopsy to autopsy or to practise hearings. The possibilities are endless – provides examples Lewandowski

Using virtual reality technology for learning, compared to traditional methods, in fact has many advantages. Leading classes, no need to look for “crime scene” and place it “traces”. The conditions are always the same, “inspection”, it is possible to record, which simplifies the error analysis.

But Professor Całkiewicz recognizes that the use of VR awakening something more than the desire to save space or to ensure the repeatability of the exercise.

- Our students keep up with technology. For them as natural as breathing. We are expected that classes will retractor, and technical innovations used, he says.

according to Darya Ivanova, VR technology is ideal, and this ideal, as it combines attractiveness with functionality which creates a sense of movement in other place:

In the beginning came up with the idea to use VR to create a virtual tour of the University. But it wnosiłoby some value? If it was curiosity, nothing more. And thanks to the use of VR to study the crime scene, we have created something that will really help you in education, can be repeatedly used and is a unique production in the world.

As still used virtual reality in education, medicine, architecture? You will learn during the second VR European Congress on may 23-24, at the Center for Science “Copernicus” in Warsaw
