What exactly are 3D courtroom animations?
In simple terms, it is a visual aid used to help illustrate or clarify complex facts, testimony, or events, like an accident reconstruction or a crime scene walkthrough. It can reconstruct accidents to help explain how an event may have happened.
Why doe they matter?
Studies have shown that people retain information from visual aids far better than from verbal testimony alone, making the case more impactful, and helps jurors understand intricate details and the timing of events far better.
Rather than relying solely on expert testimony to describe how a crash happened, a 3D reconstruction visually demonstrates the vehicle’s speed and point of impact. This immediacy makes the evidence easier to evaluate. Demonstrative evidence, including animations, does not prove facts on its own; it only serves to illustrate other admissible evidence.
Benefits of animations for courtroom:
- Makes it easier for the judge and jury to grasp facts that are difficult to explain verbally.
- Provides a visual aid to back up a witness’s statement.
