Abstract

The EU-funded project, Real-Time On-Site Forensic Trace Qualification (RISEN) aims to enable the use of advanced sensors in the field in order to get results in near real-time. The project also aims to visualize the data by innovative means, such as in virtual reality (VR). The Swedish National Forensic Centre, NFC, has been developing methods for 3D modeling of crime scenes since 2016, and have conducted several studies in the use of VR for CSI application. This paper describes the status and possibilities with VR for CSI training and how the results from the RISEN project can be utilized within forensic training.

Funding

In 2019 the Swedish Police joined a consortium planning a proposal for a Horizon 2020 call with the name RISEN, short for “Real-tIme on-site forenSic tracE qualificatioN”. The project received funding from the European Union and started the first of July 2020 and will continue until the end of 2024. The aim of the RISEN project is to develop a set of rapid, contactless sensors and an Augmented Crime Scene Investigation system. The system aims for the optimization of trace identification, classification and interpretation on site. One part of the solution is new sensor technologies for facilitating crime scene investigation on-site. Another is a 3D reconstruction and positioning tool to reconstruct the crime scene and map all the sensor measurements onto this reconstruction. Sensor data fused together with the RISEN 3D Augmented Crime Scene Investigation system will allow for increased analysis of traces while reducing laboratory activities for further analysis, faster information exchange, and digitalization of documentation and the chain of custody. This research has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 883116.
