SPSA Forensic Multimedia Unit

ShooterExample1 

The SPSA Forensic Multimedia Unit was formed specifically to embrace technology and provide a variety of digital media techniques to support the presentation methods of criminal casework. 

They say a picture is worth a 1,000 words and with this technology it really is. 

Through a variety of quality digital media including interactive presentations and 3D reconstruction, the SPSA Forensic Multimedia Unit can present complex evidence types in a way that is clear, concise and easily understood.

We can instantly transport detectives, lawyers, jurors and judges back to a crime scene, taking them on an interactive tour of the criminal investigation without a single person leaving their seat. 

Forensic animation and 3D reconstruction can be used to aid a jury in visualising hard to explain situations.  It paints a picture based on forensic evidence and can be used to illustrate a number of incidents and examples, from anatomically correct 3D body mapping of injuries and vehicle crash reconstructions to reconstruction of a crime scene and suspects movements.
