Assessing forensic ballistics three-dimensionally through graphical reconstruction and immersive VR observation

Abstract A crime scene can provide valuable evidence critical to explain reason and modality of the occurred crime, it also lead arrest criminals. The type collected by investigators or law enforcement may accordingly effective involved cases. Bullets cartridge cases examination is paramount importance in forensic science because they contain traces microscopic striations, impressions markings, which are unique reproducible as “ballistic fingerprints”. analysis bullets a complicated challenging process, typically based on optical comparison, leading identification employed firearm. New methods have recently been proposed for more accurate comparisons, rely three-dimensionally reconstructed data. This paper aims at further advancing recent introducing novel immersive technique ballistics comparison means Virtual Reality. Users examine shapes through intuitive natural gestures, from any vantage viewpoint (including internal iper-magnified views), while having their disposal sets visual aids could not be easily implemented desktop-based applications. user study was conducted assess viability performance our solution, fourteen individuals acquainted with standard procedures used agencies. Results clearly indicated that approach faster adaptation users UI/UX explainable results.
