Forensic Virtual Models in the Courtroom
Forensic Virtual Models (FVM) are the next evolution of forensic animations in litigation. They can be best explained as the migration of 3D content (i.e. the data used to create a forensic model or animation) into an interactive application with a real-time graphics visualization engine. Unlike any regular video, film or forensic animations which are passive (i.e. the user sees only what the animator wants to show), FVM’s are viewed in real-time and the user can interact with the animation by moving the camera view in the scene as the animation is playing. The visualization engine may allows for smart links and object intelligence so that when the user gets close to or interacts with an object, it can react in a pre-specified manner.
