THE TECHNOLOGY ALLOWS VICTIMS TO INTERACT WITH KEY MEMBERS OF THE JUDICIAL PROCESS IN A VIRTUAL WORLD.
Belfast-based tech company "Immersonal" has designed software for the VR court experience.
The technology is being rolled out in 52 Scottish courts and piloted in The Hague for the International Criminal Court, BBC reports.
Victims can interact with key members of the judicial process in a virtual world, providing them with more information and reducing trauma.
- Users can navigate the virtual court through a headset, interact with individuals like the court clerk, and learn about their roles.
- Immersonal aims to develop affordable VR experiences and training simulations.
- The company secured a £500,000 contract with the Scottish Government to deliver the VR service in courts over the next 12 months.
VR can potentially enhance and improve victims' experiences in the criminal justice system, providing them with support and information.
