Virtual Crime Scene
Crime Scene Virtual Tour (CSVT) - VR Solution for Crime Scene Reconstruction
This seems a very cool example of applied technology. The computer revolution is sometimes pooh-poohed for seemingly making life MORE complicated, not less. Yet, this tool demonstrates a technological integration put to good use. Of course, someone has to learn to USE the application, which is likely to alienate some officers. I'd like to see something like this integrated into a full featured GIS application, providing thematic spatial analysis of recent criminal activity for better connecting of the devious mind's dots, so to speak. If this thing hits some kind of DB for storage of all it's data, then we could spatially-enable it for sure.
