Simulations for Crime Scenes
A morbid topic, perhaps, but with the popularity of TV shows such as C.S.I. Miami (Crime Scene Investigation), there probably is an audience for online detective sytle simulations. Imagine if Sherlock Holmes had the benefits of computer simulations to solve crimes! Real life detectives, attorneys, insurance and fire investigators use simulations daily to reconstruct (not reenact) scenes and sequences of events leading up to a variety of scenarios. Results of these simulations have determined causes of fires, provided evidence in trials and valuable information for safer designs of everything from cars to buildings. The Crime Zone is one of many websites dedicated to law enforcement professionals. In our world of games and simulations, here is a viable market for development of more realistic simulations.
