We trace how 3D laser scanning, 360 imaging, and consumer VR shape crime scene documentation, training, and what persuades a jury. Guests from forensics and law enforcement share wins, limits, and practical ways agencies bring immersive tech into the courtroom.

• early QTVR panoramas versus measurable laser scans
• selecting scanners and building agency buy‑in
• integrating video, photos, and point clouds
• juries exploring scenes with self‑contained viewers
• crash reconstruction and vehicle alignment workflows
• 360 video’s training value and evidential limits
• lidar in consumer devices and rapid capture tools
• standardizing exhibits for longevity and access
• AR, on‑sensor AI, and future courtroom impact
• community knowledge between researchers and field units
