Crime Data Visualization Using Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality

Crime data visualization is a crucial aspect of understanding and addressing criminal activities. By combining the capabilities of Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality, users are immersed in a three-dimensional environment that enables them to interact with crime data in unprecedented ways. The focus of this paper is on leveraging the unique features of HoloLens 2 and Oculus Quest Pro to develop intuitive and comprehensive visualizations of crime data. These technologies allow users to compare crime data across different cities, visualize crime patterns in both spatial and temporal dimensions, and uncover hidden connections within the data. By immersing users in an environment, virtual reality enhances understanding and facilitates the identification of crime hotspots, trends, and potential intervention strategies. This innovative approach empowers police officers, analysts, and researchers to immerse themselves in crime data, enabling them to gather valuable insights, make informed decisions, and develop effective crime prevention strategies. This advancement in crime data visualization can improve the effectiveness of law enforcement efforts, aid in proactive crime prevention, and foster better collaboration and information sharing among relevant parties. Overall, this paper demonstrates the potential of utilizing HoloLens 2 and Oculus Quest Pro to transform the visualization of crime data. It highlights the benefits of an immersive and interactive approach, paving the way for advancements in crime analysis and facilitating evidence-based decision-making in the field of law enforcement.
