"Augmented reality could soon be used to solve crimes. Researchers at Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands have created AR goggles that let investigators create 3D videos of crime scenes, tag evidence and then virtually re-visit the scene. \nYes, it sounds like something out of CSI. A head-mounted display is worn in a backpack  and the virtual objects can be controlled with gestures, according to New Scientist. The investigator inside the virtual crime scene \u2014 that is, the person wearing the glasses \u2014 can get assistance from others in the lab, who can watch a video of what the other person is seeing. From the outside, they can also place markers in the scene by using a keyboard and mouse. \nThe researchers, with assistance from Dutch police, expect to test the system in a real crime scene next. The goggles may also be used for training new investigators. \nCheck out the video above to learn more about the augmented reality goggles. \n[via Engadget]\nThumbnail image courtesy of iStockphoto, carlballou\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
