CRIME SCENE ANALYSIS AND

RECONSTRUCTION WITH
3D PluraView Monitors

Case Study

[email protected]
A local law enforcement agency had been struggling with the
limitations of traditional 2D visualizations while investigating complex
crime scenes. They were seeking a more accurate and efficient
method for analyzing and reconstructing crime scenes to support
their investigations.

They also face several challenges when using 2D displays for


analyzing and reconstructing crime scenes or examining evidence
like
1. Limited depth perception
2. Difficulty visualizing complex data
3. Reduced accuracy
4. Less effective communication especially to Judges and other
leagal bodies

Solution:
The agency decided to invest in a 3D PluraView monitor from
Schneider Digital, which provided high-quality stereo visualization
capabilities. This monitor was integrated into their forensic workflow,
allowing investigators to create and view detailed 3D models of crime
scenes.
Implementation: The law enforcement agency began using the 3D
PluraView monitor in their forensic lab, where they processed digital
evidence, such as photographs, videos, and laser scans of crime
scenes. Forensic experts used specialized software to create 3D
models of the scenes, and then displayed these models on the 3D
PluraView monitor. This enabled them to analyze evidence and
reconstruct the events of the crime with greater accuracy and
efficiency.
Results: The implementation of the 3D PluraView monitor in the
agency's forensic workflow yielded several significant benefits:
1. Improved accuracy: The enhanced depth perception provided
by the 3D stereo display allowed investigators to visualize spatial
relationships between objects and evidence more accurately.
This led to more precise conclusions about the sequence of
events and the positioning of the involved parties.
2. Increased efficiency: With the ability to view and manipulate 3D
models of crime scenes, investigators were able to analyze
evidence more quickly, shortening the time it took to reach
conclusions and move forward in their investigations.
3. Enhanced collaboration: The immersive 3D visualization
facilitated better communication among investigators, forensic
experts, and other involved parties. This allowed for more
effective collaboration, leading to a more comprehensive
understanding of the case.
4. Better court presentations: The 3D models provided a more
convincing and easily understandable representation of the
crime scene for courtroom presentations. This helped the
agency present their findings more effectively to juries and
judges, increasing the likelihood of successful case outcomes.

Conclusion:
The 3D PluraView forensic display is an advanced stereo visualization
system that improves the precision and effectiveness of forensic
analysis and reconstruction. It offers high-quality 3D imaging, enabling
professionals to create and examine detailed 3D models of crime
scenes and evidence. This state-of-the-art technology allows for a
better understanding of object spatial relationships, leading to more
accurate crime scene analysis. The 3D PluraView display is an
essential tool for law enforcement, forensic labs, and other
organizations involved in crime scene investigations, as it provides an
immersive and precise way to study and convey complex data.

By incorporating the 3D PluraView monitor into their forensic


workflow, law enforcement agencies have experienced significant
enhancements in their crime scene analysis and reconstruction
processes. The 3D stereo display technology allows for more
accurate visualization and interpretation of evidence, enabling
agencies to solve cases more efficiently and achieve better outcomes
in legal proceedings
