Experts from IdomSoft Zrt., within the framework of the National Laboratory for Infocommunications and Information Technology (INFOLAB), are working on the development of advanced IT solutions based on the integrated application of artificial intelligence and virtual reality.
The aim of the new system is to support crime scene and traffic accident investigations with fast, reliable, and versatile methods, thereby making them more efficient. The innovation seeks to accelerate the investigation process, potentially reducing its duration from hours to mere minutes.
The system is capable of creating detailed digital reconstructions of scenes based on photos, videos, and drone footage. These digital environments can then be used for virtual measurements, reconstructions, and simulations. With the help of VR headsets, investigators can enter the digital crime scene remotely and in real time. Any environmental condition can be simulated—rain, sunshine, fire spread, or precipitation—allowing for more accurate conclusions about the course of events. The software can also generate 3D phantom images to aid eyewitness recall.
According to innovation expert Tibor Kellessy, the technology was partly inspired by the graphic solutions of computer games. The digitalization process is fast: a scene can become analyzable within an hour. While the new system does not replace human work, it significantly supports investigative and educational processes. Remote experts can also take part in the work, making cross-border cooperation possible through the technology.
The system can also be applied in environmental protection, flood prevention, and the digital presentation of cultural spaces. It is equally valuable in police training, where students can learn using realistic digital models.
