Preserving a Crime Scene in 360 Degrees

Crime Scene

 

Crime scene investigators use a variety of tools to record a crime scene from notebooks and sketchpads to still cameras and video cameras. VPiX® CSI:360 is something different. This crime scene reconstruction software enables investigators to create images of a crime scene in 360°.

Using a digital camera, a technician snaps photos of a crime scene every 90 degrees. The software blends the images into a spherical panoramic projection. But this is more than a virtual tour of the crime scene. The images can be enhanced with evidence markers that display information about evidence or close-ups of evidence. Interactive crime scenes can be exported to computers or viewed on a mobile device. The FBI and many police departments use the software.

If you want to equip your fictional investigators with this latest technology, then check the CSI:360° website for more information.
