Smartphone App & Virtual Reality

• Together with Prof. Dadour and Prof. Glance at The University of Western Australia I’m the developer of “SmartInsects – Forensic Entomology”, the smartphone app for iOS and Android created to facilitate the work of law enforcements and pathologist at the crime scene when insects are present. This app had more than 10.000 downloads worldwide and it has been recognized as one of the “Fantastic 4 apps created by WA scientists at Universities”. • Together with Jeff Asselin (Murdoch Media Producer), I’m the developer of a crime scene simulator in virtual reality.
