Virtual Reality for Education
Virtual reality is increasingly used in education, including higher education.
The interactive 3D image, which the user can manipulate, creates an illusion of being present in the virtual world, and its combination with high quality sound and tracking technology make the user’s brain believe that the world seen on the screen is real. Thanks to the technology applied, it engages all the senses of the learner, and has a positive impact on the effectiveness and time of learning.
Use the power of Virtual Reality in the process teaching
The main task of the simulator is to support the process of teaching students of law, criminalistics, criminology and related studies. The application gives students the opportunity to use these tools in order to find hidden traces, secure collected evidence, blood traces and solve, under the watchful eye of a lecturer, the mystery of the death of a young and well-earning accountant.
The application was prepared on Unreal Engine 4
It is currently one of the most advanced graphical engines in the world, best adapted to virtual reality (VR) technology. The simulator is compatible with virtual reality glasses – HTC VIVE. Special VR controllers will enable advanced interactions with the entire environment created. VR goggles will provide the user with a strong immersion of the senses, while maintaining high visual quality of the design.

Instead of taking classes in the laboratory, students of criminalistics found themselves in a virtual crime scene. They saw the scene that had been found in the morning by the husband of a well-known lawyer. His wife was dead, with a head shot wound, in her office in the city center.
-
It was the task of students to properly secure the evidence at the crime scene - with appropriate tools and in an appropriate manner - and to determine whether suicide was the cause of death or whether third parties were involved in it.
-
Each student moving around in virtual reality had at their disposal a professional investigation suitcase containing the necessary tools for proper analysis of the scene, including: gloves, swabs, glass vials, a paper pack, plastic bags for securing evidence, tweezers, pliers, a microscope, flashlight.
