Immersive virtual reality can enhance forensic science chemistry education by providing realistic crime scene experiences. Using WebVR Uptale, the authors developed a mobile‑accessible VR crime scene activity in which students investigate, collect evidence, submit an online report, and reconstruct the scene. Eighty‑four percent of students reported enjoying the activity and would recommend it to others.
Immersive technology, such as virtual reality (VR) experiences, has the ability to enhance forensic science chemistry education by allowing students to view realistic crime scenes. With the help of a WebVR software such as Uptale, we created a VR crime scene activity that students can participate in remotely with the help of their mobile device. Students were tasked to investigate a VR crime scene and collect evidence for subsequent analysis. They would then complete an online report, where they would report the evidence they had collected and subsequently perform crime scene reconstruction to describe what they think happened at the crime scene. Overall, 84% of students enjoyed the activity and would recommend others to try the VR crime scene experience.
