Selected projects
Virtual Reality at the Crime Scene
We developed an educational project using technological resources so that more people could acquire knowledge about Criminalistics.
We combined our knowledge in Criminology and Criminalistics with the digital skills we had at our disposal. We offered a Virtual Reality game with educational material on the investigation and analysis of a crime scene.
This project was developed by a team of students from Universidad Camilo José Cela.
