1. Recreating a crime scene
Virtual reality can immerse you in different places and times. This is the perfect way for recreating a crime scene as it can help find and analyze things that were initially overlooked. Police can use advanced cameras to take photographs of the scene and create a 360-degree panoramic video, after which a series of events will be recreated.
Investigators can simply put on simple virtual reality glasses and look around in order to find more clues. This technology is even more important when the crime scene is in a place that cannot be kept intact, such as a busy neighborhood.
2. Watch local content
Because many virtual reality headsets can use your smartphone as a monitor, you can use them to watch local content. For example, the free virtual movie app VR?Cinema automatically splits videos stored on your phone and displays them side-by-side, just as you would if you were watching them with a virtual reality headset. You can also use your phone to play 3D movies. The app called Seene captures 3D images and views them in a virtual reality device.
3. Medical
CT scans can be very accurate in spotting abnormalities. The problem is that doctors have to view the scans on a screen or printed sheet. With virtual reality, doctors can see more detail and manipulate them in 3D space. This will mean faster and better diagnoses. Other applications of virtual reality in medicine include remote manipulation of surgical tools, risk-free training of medical staff and even treating patients.
