Santa Anna IT Research Institute now announces that they have got funding from the Wallenberg WASP programme and Vinnova Avancerad Digitalisering for a 1 ½ year research- and demonstrator-project together with parts from the industry, Swedish and Danish academia and the Swedish Police Authority.

The project forms a successor to and expansion of the successful “Visual Crime Scene” project that was funded by Visual Sweden, Region Östergötland, The Swedish Police and Visualization Center C.

The project will create interactive, visualized crime scenes that turn several complex fictive crimes and investigations into immersive experiences, that will form basis for methodology development, new research and improvements supporting society in fight against new crimes like AI based frauds and cyber crimes but also other crimes where forensic work (but also other parts of our society) can benefit from the new AI and visualization technologies.

The project parties will use advanced gaming platforms and recent research results to jointly develop an advanced multimodal AI system—an interactive digital twin — to revolutionize forensic investigations by combining high-quality 3D models and generative AI, and shaping the future of forensic science. At the same time researchers will get the opportunity to validate ongoing research.

This is a perfect example of where technology meets real-world needs, building the methods of tomorrow!

The organisations participating are: The Swedish Police, Linköping University, Lutra Interactive, Norrköping Visualisering AB, East Sweden Game, AI Sweden, Copenhagen University, Intel Sweden and Santa Anna IT Research Institute coordinating the project.
