Digital Forensics Can Create 3D Crime Scene models

The video discusses the use of digital forensics in crime scene investigations. It highlights how police create a virtual world using 3D models to analyze evidence and witness claims. The University of Warwick's technology allows for detailed examination of crime scenes, challenging testimonies, and preserving conditions as they were. Digital forensics, akin to DNA analysis, is a significant advancement in solving crimes. The video also covers a case study of Lorenzo Simon's conviction, where digital forensics played a crucial role in matching evidence and aiding the jury's understanding.
