Visualize Your Case

Testifying Expert specializing in Visibility, Animations,

Forensic Photography & Videography, Photo & Video Analysis.

Compelling Visuals and Demonstratives make clear, the complex.

Don't explain what the events of your case looked like- show it!

 

A meticulously reenacted visibility demonstration brings the jury to the heart of the matter- letting them see for themselves what an event looked like as it unfolded.

 

We will accurately demonstrate the effects that lighting, contrast, conspicuity, glare, movement and visual anomalies have on your case. 

From Google Earth to cell phones- dash cameras to the ATM machine, photos and videos are captured everywhere, and document the events that change lives.

What information is locked in those photos and videos that could provide important insight to your case?

We look into the images, seeing past the obvious to find the information and insight buried in plain view.

A single photograph or simple video can show in an instant what your case is about.

​​

Ensuring that your visual demonstratives are fair, accurate and provide a solid foundation for analysis and expert opinions is crucial.

We use state of the art equipment, years of experience, and trial-tested techniques to document the visuals that demonstrate to others what is important.

What did an accident look like from overhead? What about from the driver's seat, or the pedestrian's vantage point, or the cyclist's perspective?

Physics based animations and simulations allow us the ability to reconstruct and deconstruct complex events into simple elements, view them from different angles, and in so doing, gain understanding.

Our 3d mapping and modeling services include state of the art technologies and integrations that allow for advanced detailing of complex scenes. From aerial drone capture, GNSS mapping and terrestrial laser scans, all the way to vehicle-based mobile scanning, we cover every angle.

Technology changes quickly, and today's professional accident reconstructionist must master a dizzying number of disciplines.

Let us help!

We offer a collaborative and supportive  environment that allows the professional reconstructionist the ability to leverage the latest, advanced techniques, including: Laser Scanning, Video Analysis, Speed Determination, Aerial Imaging, Mapping, Animations, Photogrammetry, VBox 3i data collection and more.
