Virtual reality technology used in the gaming industry could be adapted to recreate crime scenes for juries, researchers have claimed.
A Staffordshire University project has experimented with technology and techniques to “transport” jurors to virtual crime scenes.
Associate Prof of Forensics, Dr Caroline Sturdy Colls, said it was the first project of its kind in Europe.
Staffordshire Police said it was “a concept” that could become significant.
The project, which received a European Commission research grant of about £140,000, uses green screens, the latest virtual reality headsets and technology from gaming, engineering and computing.
