Ground Truth XR is an exciting new company positioned at the cutting-edge of extended reality.
Based in Dundee, Scotland, we create 3D environments that are accurate representations of real world environments, for applications where hyperrealism and measurement accuracy are paramount. And there is no greater example of this than in forensic science.
Created by forensic scientists for forensic scientists, our immersive technologies will transform teaching, training and testing of forensic investigators, and revolutionise the way real world environments are captured, used and presented in court.
Our solutions have been carefully developed from more than seven years of robust academic research conducted by the Leverhulme Research Centre for Forensic Science at The University of Dundee.
