Abstract

This work examines the forensic aspects of using augmented reality (AR) technology. It is proposed to use reality technology to reconstruct the picture of crimes committed in transport. A feature of the reconstruction of the trace picture of crimes of this type is visualizing the connections between objects that are not comparable in size to trace-perceiving objects. It is concluded that augmented reality technology can become the basis for a new stage in the development of forensic photography. AR technology provides simultaneous image of traces of crime on objects, then it becomes possible to combine in one computer application the advantages of orientation, survey, nodal and detailed photography. The technology based on markers (AR-tags) requires a minimum of equipment. For a smartphone, the article's authors have developed an application that allows visualizing a forensic scene using augmented reality. The experience of using a computer AR-application in forensic practice and training in reconstruction of the track picture of crimes in transport is analyzed. With the help of virtual objects, the trail picture of the murder in the ship's cabin was reconstructed. During reconstruction, augmented reality marks are digital pointers, which, during real investigative examinations of the scene of the incident, indicate the traces of the crime. The advantages of using an application for a smartphone in the educational process carried out in the conditions of an educational forensic training ground (AR-training ground) are considered.
