To clearly demonstrate the correct preservation of entomological evidence and to illustrate typical "insect hiding places" at various locations, a three-part video on evidence preservation was produced. The aim was to practically demonstrate the variability and specific challenges of evidence collection in different scenarios. The video is based on 360° recordings made at three different locations: at the discovery of a body in an apartment, in the open countryside, and during the autopsy of a corpse. In addition to the 360° recordings, detailed macro photographs of the entomological evidence were taken. All the footage was combined using 3D-Vista software to create an interactive 3D tour and implemented as a Windows application, allowing users to virtually explore the different locations. These tours will also be used as training materials in the third year of the project. All videos were produced in cooperation with the Hessian University of Applied Sciences for Public Management and Security (HöMS).

A three-part video was produced to demonstrate the correct preservation of entomological evidence and to illustrate typical spots for insects to hide at different locations. The aim was to present the variability and respective challenges of securing evidence in different scenarios in a practical manner. The video was based on 360° images taken at three different locations: at the scene of a body discovery in an apartment, in an outdoor scenario, and during the autopsy of a corpse. In addition to the 360° images, detailed macro images of the entomological traces were created. All image material was combined into an interactive 3D tour using 3D-Vista software and implemented as a Windows application that enables a virtual tour of the different locations. These tours will also be used as training materials in the third year of the project. All videos were created in collaboration with the Hessian University of Applied Sciences for Public Management and Security (HöMS).
