Forensic Teaching Laboratory

The Forensic Teaching Laboratory is an innovative learning space where students explore crime scene investigation through research-led activities, including the use of virtual reality to study perception, memory, and forensic analysis.

About the facility

This space serves as a platform for theoretical exploration and intriguing investigations. Using Meta Virtual Reality headsets, students can investigate if viewing crime scenes through virtual reality improves memory compared to physical visits. We also analyse finger-marks to determine gender distinctions. Through this and other various research, students gain insights into cognitive processes in crime scene perception and assess virtual reality's potential for forensics.
