Transfer of 3D Scanning Technologies Into the Field of Criminal Proceedings

Abstract

Introduction. Everyday, hundreds ideas of innovative technologies are developed, and thousands innovative products and services are implemented. The practice of criminal proceedings does not stand aside these processes. In recent years, foreign specialists have been increasingly focusing on 3D scanning technologies and the poten tial of their use in investigations.Problem Statement. The problem of 3D technologies in the criminalistic practice has not been sufficiently developed in Ukrainian science, and the idea of using 3D technologies for fixing evidence, as well as tracing the evidence and corpus delicti is only at the initial stage of development. In the future, focus on active implementation of 3D scanning technologies in forensic activities is expected to increase.Purpose. On the basis of generalization of international experience, a systematic review of the advantages of using 3D scanning technologies in criminal proceedings has been carried out, and the prospects for the transfer of these innovations to the criminalistic practice in Ukraine have been outlined. Materials and Methods. Comparative analysis, formal and logical methods.Results. The use of 3D scanning technologies is a unique way of fixing the information about a criminal offense, which provides access to the virtual image of the crime scene for all participants of the criminal process. An investigator, a prosecutor, a judge, and a juror can visualize the crime scene using 3D model. The advantages of this process are universality, portability, agility, ease of use, efficiency, safety, multi-functionality, and cost effectiveness.Conclusions. The world practice of police services has proved the expediency of using laser scanning while investigating criminal offenses. Ukraine is also expected to make a progress in the technological support of police and expert services, insofar as effective counteraction to modern crimes without innovations is an impossible mission.

Assessment of the State of the Entertainment Services Market Under Covid-19 Restrictive Measures

“…Considering the indicators for 2021 in relation to the entertainment services market, it is impossible to ignore the impact that COVID-19 infection continues to exert. All areas of activity that relate to the entertainment services market have been affected by the pandemic (Blahuta et al, 2020). Over the past two years, a large number of participants in the ecosystem of high technologies, telecommunications, and entertainment have expressed similar opinions: "pandemic caused changes over the past two years that would have taken about 5-7 years at another time".…”

Different Techniques of Creating Bone Digital 3D Models from Natural Specimens

“…Several studies show that models can serve not only as an addition to cadaver dissection but also can serve as a valuable alternative to natural specimens when access to the cadaveric material is limited [47,48]. Some authors reported that different medical specialists have focused on 3D scanning and printing technologies to enrich the medical education process with modern technologies [49,50]. All 3D technologies complement each other, and their integration can open new possibilities for the creation of new, valuable, and revolutionizing products [51,52].…”
