Absolutely fascinating!  You could do this in 3D and put them into VR for crime scene training or for amateur sleuths.  VR is not cheap, and it is NOT easy.  I had a good conversation today with Nash Varghese of Digital Stock.  Their ph is $180 and just setting up one platform, like android, can cost $20k for the most basic app.  And it is a solitary experience- each person puts on their own goggles and wanders around in their own little world in a very limited space.

These are the so-called “Nutshells,” death scenes created by 20th century heiress, scientist and artist Frances Glessner Lee, the “godmother of forensic science,” who made these dioramas of real-life cases to help future investigators do more accurate forensic crime analysis.
