PanoTools: VR Crime Scenes Brian 2006-Jun-26 12:55:42

Hi,

 

A friend recently recommended I offer services to local police agencies so
that they can review crime scenes remotely after they've left the scene. I
wasn't too sure that there would be much interest and didn't pursue it.

 

This morning I received a free newspaper in the post called "Policing Essex"
and in there was a report of a jury being shown a "virtual tour" of a crime
scene in a murder case. The Police in question used a system called "R2S
Crime" which is based on the system manufactured by Spheron VR in Germany:

The web site for the new system can be seen here:

&refID=10&refID2=11&contentID=11

 

Has anyone here produced similar work using more conventional methods i.e.
SLR & PTools?

 

I imagine the system is very expensive and that not many local forces will
want to purchase one but if awareness in the possibilities of 360VR's have
been raised then perhaps a few list members could benefit from approaching
their local police force?

 

It would possibly be a bit more interesting than photographing yet another
hotel/museum/church :-)

 

 

 

Brian.
