Forensic Products Featured on CBS’ CSI: Crime Scene Investigation

HILL, N.C., March 29, 2005
– 3rdTech announced today that their DeltaSphere 3D Scene Digitizer and
SceneVision software will be featured on the next episode of CBS’ popular TV
show, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, airing March 31st. The
DeltaSphere is a 3D Scanner that quickly and accurately captures scenes and
objects in 3D and color. The captured data can be displayed as a 3D computer
graphics model and viewed from any perspective. Investigators in the show use
the products, and the computer graphics model produced, to explore the murder of
a suburban family in the episode called “Spark of Life”.
“The CSI writers are always looking for
the latest technology being applied to crime scene investigation”, said Nick
England, President of 3rdTech. “It might seem like science fiction, but the
script accurately portrays what our products can do.”
The DeltaSphere replaces the tedious work
of manually making dozens of measurements at a crime scene by automatically
making thousands of measurements per second. SceneVision combines these millions
of laser measurements with professional-quality, calibrated digital photographs
to create accurate, photo-realistic models of real-world scenes that can be
viewed, measured, analyzed, and presented.
In the past year, the DeltaSphere and
SceneVision have been acquired by a number of law enforcement agencies and
training institutes, including:
-
The U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Laboratory
-
The Henry C. Lee Institute of Forensic Science
-
The American Academy of Applied Forensics (Huntersville, NC)
