Examining the Body - A VR Experience with PhD Efsevia Daskalaki

The event is held in English.

Through VR, visitors gain practical insight into what it means to work as a forensic pathologist. The experience is designed to illustrate the processes involved in an autopsy and helps the audience understand forensic pathology's work and methods. Although the VR experience does not itself perform or facilitate identification, it provides a valuable framework for understanding how forensic pathologists examine the body - a central part of the identification process.

The VR experience was created by Efsevia Daskalaki, a graduate of the MSc programme in forensic medicine, anthropology and medical imaging. As part of her PhD project - in collaboration with lecturer Elena Kranioti and her team at the University of Crete and the HCI-Lab at the Institute of Computer Sciences, Foundation of Research and Technology - Hellas (Heraklion, Crete, Greece) - Daskalaki has developed a VR training tool focused on virtual autopsy of the head and thorax. She is visiting Copenhagen and is affiliated with the SOLID exhibition from 5-7 October.
