Discover how 3D Data and 360° imaging transforms courtrooms

With 3D Tools:

Quickly and seamlessly organize, share and evaluate all relevant crime-scene data captured from a FARO^® Focus Laser Scanner and/or a handheld laser scanner and use that data to create compelling courtroom presentations that provide virtual “walkthroughs” of a scene. Use sophisticated, court validated tools in FARO Zone to more easily analyze, summarize and present key points.

Build a stronger case, faster, using scan data to gain a first-hand perspective without having to physically return to a scene or ask law enforcement to do the same. Close cases with greater speed, freeing up more time to take on new clients so that they can have their day in court too.

Today:

Hand draw (or print) simplistic 2D diagrams and use whiteboard easels or projectors to present your case, often with far less detail and realism than modern technology can achieve. Arrange static 2D photographs that can't be updated in real-time if new evidence or data comes to light.

With 3D Tools:

Enjoy the ability to prove/disprove new theories as they are presented, by leveraging software that enables you to return to the scene virtually.

Combined with the capacity to capture 360-degree photos organized by location and time creating a digital progress record of time spent on-scene, eliminate the risks associated with working with older, less able software over time, while projecting a sense of technological confidence — and clarity — to the jury.

— Traditional 2D diagrams, whiteboard easels and static 2D photographs fail to give modern jurors and judges the complete sense of being at the scene and an immersive awareness of what took place. The information can also be cumbersome to handle and organize, less engaging, and in a worst-case scenario, a subtle signal that the prosecution or defense is not versed in the latest 3D technology.

With 3D Tools:

Show the spatial relationship of people, items of evidence, and overall scene layout in a firsthand perspective that helps build a stronger case and use that scan data to obtain additional measurements in real-time as new data is presented or becomes relevant in the trial.

Today:

Flawed or difficult to understand information presented in the time allotted can undermine a judge or jury's decision and the quality of legal system results.

With 3D Tools:

Create remarkable 3D visualizations of real-world objects and environments. Ideal for generating compelling presentations, producing accurate 2D and 3D diagrams, animating crashes in seconds, and analyzing the scene with confidence using the independently validated tools for bullet trajectory and Bloodstain Pattern Analysis.

Help judges and juries render effective judgments with information that is clear and precise while expanding the scope and acceptance of the technologies' use, impressing/convincing would-be skeptics.

Acquiring new on-scene data after the fact can be time-consuming and difficult. Physical evidence, not collected soon after the incident, will degrade rapidly and be unrecoverable if not captured the first time with a dedicated manual effort.

With 3D Tools:

After receiving scan data, attorneys can request the completion of specific court deliverables, which assist in proving the case. If necessary, scan data can also be used to obtain additional measurements in real-time as new data is presented or becomes relevant in a trial.
